Yes, it does, but I'm not suggesting it be a permanent crop, marsoe. I'm suggesting that when life gives you lemons (or, y'know, mine-detecting tobacco), you make lemonade (use the tobacco to make yourself a bit of money to recoup the cost of planting).
RE the plant's efficacy: It gets the mines that mechanical clearing doesn't find. Besides, mines aren't exactly kept in the best condition/manufactured to the strictest specifications. I'd bet that it can detect a fair number of mines.
Last I checked, the plant was oversensitive, I'm confident flawed mines would be picked up.
That's exactly what I was thinking, how the heck is someone supposed to plant tobacco without accidentally blowing themselves up?
As long as they're aware, there's not alot of danger. They just need to stay out of newly dug earth. Better question; How exactly are they going to find the minefield? Isn't it too late when they have found it?
