Yovko Dyulgerski

Abstract: An assessment is made of the economic indicators, chemical, physical and technological parameters of 16 Burley tobacco samples, 15 of which are promising lines and the 16th is the standard Pliska variety. As a result, the study has found that the highest yield is presented by Line 1458 and the highest percentage of first class has been obtained from Line 1466, followed by Line 1458. The most balanced in terms of requirements for the chemical composition of Burley variety group tobacco is Line 1466. This line meets in the biggest degree the requirements of the tobacco industry. The complex assessment of economic and chemical indicators shows that all new-selected lines, under all studied indicators, surpass the characteristics of the standard Pliska variety. Line 1400 and Line 1458 have the best economic indicators and consumer parameters with a slight advantage of the second one. They strongly overtop the standard Pliska variety and could be proposed to the Executive Agency for Seed Testing, Approbation and Seed Inspection for recognition as new Barley tobacco varieties.
