Does anyone know what is the nicotine level in those N.Rustica strains?
Hasankeyf
Aztec
Sacret Cornplanter
Mahorka #6 Yellow #109

For the last strain I read somewhere that has 6%-9% nicotine level which depend of soil type and fertilization.

I believe that few of us grow N Rustica, sheets(leaves) are small and ask for so much interview(maintenance) as for the sorts(species) N nicotiana more productive with 110 feet (plants) I do not even know if I am two kilograms weighty dry(flat broke)...

je crois que peu d'entre nous plantent N Rustica, les feuilles sont petites et demandent autant d'entretien que les espèces N nicotiana plus productives...avec 110 pieds (plantes ) je ne sais même pas si j'ai deux kilogrammes de poids à sec...

From my rather limited observations - while there is some difference between the nicotine levels of different rustica strains, you get far more variation from the season and the fertiliser the plants get. More nitrogen and more sunlight tends to give me more nicotine per gram of leaf. Larger leaf varieties of rustica often have lower nicotine levels in the leaf - except for the variety I grew last year called Mahorka Stalingradskaia which had big leaves of a moderately higher nicotine level.
