Abstract:

The growth periods, agronomy characters, economic characters, leaf appearance qualities, and smoking qualities of six variety ‘Zhongyan103’, ‘Zhongyan104’, ‘Zhongyan203’, ‘Nanjiang3’, ‘Jiucaiping2’ and ‘Yunyan87’ (CK) were studied to select the adaptive tobacco varieties for planting in Liupanshui region in 2009 and 2010 years. The results showed that the yield and output value of ‘Nanjiang3’ were 2498.55 kg/hm2 and 30875.09 yuan/hm2 respectively, and 28.17% and 27.45% higher than that of control. ‘Zhongyan203’ had the highest average price and proportions of top and middle class tobacco leaves than control, 12.76 yuan/kg and 87.00% respectively, 2.90% and 3.02% higher than that of control. Based on the botanic characteristics, economic characters, outward appearance and smoking qualities, ‘Nanjiang3’ and ‘Zhongyan203’ should be recommended in Liupanshui region.
