A filed experiment on "Morpho-agronomic and qualitative performance of various FCV tobacco exotic hybrids" was conducted at the Tobacco Research Station Khan Garhi Mardan during the year of 2014-2015. The experiment was designed in randomized complete block design with three replications. Ten (10) FCV tobacco hybrids (PVH-2310, PVH-2275, PVH-2233, PVH-2261, CSC-4302, CSC-444, CSC-447, CSC-4703, SPT-G-28 and K-399) were sown. The parameters studied were plant height (cm), number of leaves plant -1 , leaf Area (cm²), no. of green leaves kg -1 , no. of cured leaves kg -1 , cured leaf yield (kg ha -1 ), reducing sugar content (%) and nicotine content (%). The studied tobacco hybrids exhibited highly significant differences for all the parameters recorded. The hybrid PVH-2310 performed best among the studied hybrids and comparatively provided the maximum values for plant height (131.8 cm), no. of leaves plant -1 (27), leaf area (894.5 cm 2 ), cured leaf yield (3332 kg ha -1 ) reducing sugar content (19.2 %) and lower nicotine content (2.81 %), also heavier leaves with more mass were obtained for this hybrid and therefore provided the least no. of green leaves kg -1 (22.7) and no. of cured leaves kg -1 (163.7). Hence it is concluded and suggested from this experiment that the FCV tobacco hybrid PVH-2310 performed better as compared to other hybrids in agro-climatic condition of Mardan.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
