Abstract

In 2023, eight recognized Prilep-type tobacco varieties were planted at the Scientific Tobacco Institute - Prilep: P 10-3/2 (control), NS 72, Prilep 79-94, Prilep 26, Prilep 123/7, P 66-9, P 76/86 and P 90. The experiment was set up in three replications using the Randomized Block System method. The evaluation of the raw tobacco was conducted according to the current Rulebook for the procurement of raw leaf tobacco of oriental aromatic tobacco types (Official Gazette of the Republic of North Macedonia No. 250/2021).
The aim of this study was to examine the production characteristics: g/plant, kg/ha and gross monetary income (MKD/ha), which were also statistically analyzed using the analysis of variance method (LSD test).
According to the obtained data, the yield in kg/ha ranged from 3,145 kg/ha for the P 66-9 variety to 1,550 kg/ha for the control variety P 10-3/2. All varieties were grown under the same soil and climatic conditions. Their gross monetary income ranged from 919,070 MKD/ha for the P 66-9 variety to 227,442 MKD/ha for the control variety. Due to its higher quality, the P 90 variety showed a higher average price per class during evaluation, amounting to 301.6 MKD/kg. The nicotine content in the tested varieties during this harvest was lower, ranging from 0.86% in P 66-9 to 0.33% in the control variety P 10-3/2. This study provides an overview of the genetic potential of the recognized Prilep-type tobacco varieties.

Keywords: yield kg/ha, tobacco, variety, gross income, nicotine.
