Abstract: Are studied basic physical and technological characteristics of 10 varieties and lines of Burley tobacco has shown good economic results. It is made comparative analysis of the examined indicators leaf material of three harvesting belts. The results obtained show that most of the requirements of manufacturing of are covered leaf material prepared from mid harvesting belt. There were no significant differences between the material derived from the lower and middle harvesting belt. The material obtained from the upper harvesting belt provides a significant unfavorable production characteristics compared to other harvesting belts. Of great importance to production parameters is and varietals
feature. Burley 1344 variety, which alone gives material with better production parameters in upper harvesting belt, should be used as a donor for improving the physical and technological indicators the indigenous assortment of Burley tobacco.
