nomus grandis grandis Boheman); bollworm (Heliothis zea Boddie); or tobacco budworm (H. virescens Fab.). Its superior performance may be due to rapid fruiting and a shorter exposure of tender fruiting parts to insect attacks. The prolific nature of Pee Dee 6520 may partially compensate for insect injury to fruiting parts, because they are replaced more rapidly in this line than in other cultivars. Seed (25 g) of this breeding stock may be obtained from AR, SEA, USDA, Pee Dee Experiment Station, Florence, SC 29503.
