Effects of Different Growing Practices on Agronomic Properties and Usability of Flue-Cured Tobacco

Three virginia tobacco varieties, DH10, VaD, VBP143, were tested by means of extensive (taditional) and intensive cultural practices with and without irrigation, during the 1995-1997 years. Improvement of growing technology increases yield and production value, and the produced tobacco has better visual properties and usability. The applied growing practices influence the realisation of yield, production value, chemical composition and tobacco usability more than genetic characteristics of a cultivar. The study showed that irrigation is profitable only in intensive production, while in extensive production this measure does not justify the investment.
