Advanced pure lines, which are in different genetic and vegetative characteristics determined in a breeding
program initiated in 2013, were included to the yield tests in the region before registration. Chemical and
morphological variability and stability of 13 advanced pure tobacco lines and 2 standard varieties were
determined in two different locations. The experimental layout was random blocks with three replications and
the experiment was carried out in 2016 and 2017. Plant height values ranged from 85.25 to 156.71 cm, the
number of leaves from 22.43 to 41.71 leaf plant-1
, leaf width ranged from 9.35 to 11.52 cm, leaf length from
17.36 to 21.89 cm, yield from 1371.9 to 1756.7 kg ha-1
, quality grade index from 67.33 to 81.58%, nicotine
content from 1.02 to 1.98% and glucose content from 3.33 to 9.33%. The lines 16, 21, 26 and 45 were identified
as strong variety candidates suitable for the region based on all the parameters and the statistical conditions
examined. The use of biplots that the environments were distributed on axes, enabled to make location-based
variety recommendations. The biplot graph based on environment and genotype interaction was used in the
recommedations of tobacco variety for each location.
