Rudʹ A. Productivity of tobacco depending on biological and technological factors in the conditions of the Western Forest-Steppe

The relevance of the research topic lies in the study of the complex of agrotechnical measures in the cultivation of a highly profitable technical crop - tobacco, which today can bring significant profits to the country's budget. As a result of the conducted research, for the first time, a comparative assessment of the yield of tobacco raw materials of four tobacco varieties for the conditions of the Western Forest Steppe was carried out; a better planting density of tobacco plants was established in terms of varieties, which ensures optimal yield of leaves; the dependence of plant growth and development characteristics on the studied factors is substantiated; a comprehensive assessment of yield and quality indicators of tobacco raw materials is given, depending on varietal characteristics, planting density and fertilization system; the expediency of growing tobacco in the conditions of the Western Forest Steppe has been proven and substantiated.
