Honeyvine milkweed, also called sweet potato vine by some, can be a troublesome weed in many tobacco fields. This vine often intertwines and climbs the stalk of nearby tobacco plants. This often leads to problems with leaf breakage if the vine is pulled or when the stalk is cut. The vine can remain with the plant through harvest and curing, resulting in a potential problem with Non-Tobacco Related Material (NTRM) in the cured leaf.
