Abstract
The height of plants increased significantly more when they were topped at the flower bud stage than when they were topped at the flowering stage. Ten hundredth of fifteen hundredth milliliter of alpha-naphthalene acetic acid applied to a decapitated tobacco plant just after topping inhibited sucker growth and hastened maturity of leaves. The use of the chemical for the control of suckers resulted in a reduction of labor cost by P16.16 per hectare. The value of increase in production of the chemical method over the manual method of suckering was P0.24 per 16-sqauer-meter plot, or P150.00 to a hectare
