Abstract

Ten genotypes of oriental tobacco (three varieties and seven newly created lines) were investigated for some major morphological and agronomic traits: height of the plant without inflorescence, leaf number per plant, length/width of the middle belt leaves and dry mass yield/plant. The trial was set up in the Experimental field of Tobacco Institute–Prilep in 2016 and 2017, in randomized block design with four replications, using traditional agricultural practices. Measurements of the first three traits were made in the stage of butonization and beginning of flowering, while the dry mass yield was recorded during the treatment of cured tobacco. The results were statistically processed.
The aim of the research is to study the quantitative traits of Oriental genotypes, to determine the stability of the population through their variability and to emphasize the best among the selected assortment.
From the set of genotypes we selected three superior lines with a high degree of homogeneity. The coefficient of variation of quantitative traits in these lines was lower than 10%, which is a sign of their stability. After their acceptance by the Commission for recognition and approval of varieties within the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water Economy of R. Macedonia, these genotypes will be placed on the market.
Key words: tobacco, oriental genotypes, quantitative traits, variability
