Research on ecological adaptability positioning and screening of high quality flue-cured tobacco varieties(lines)in Southern Anhui
To screen the new flue-cured tobacco varieties(lines)that can reflect the flavour characteristics style of the Southern Anhui tobacco region,we conducted the comparative experiments on the ecological adaptability identification and screening of 9 high-quality new flue-cured tobacco varieties(lines),WSM1,WSM2,WSM3,WSM4,WSM5,WSM6,Zhongyan 101,WSM8,and WSM9,using the local production main varieties Yunyan 87 and Yunyan 97 as controls,at two experimental sites.Based on the identification and evaluation results of the growth period,botanical traits,agronomic traits,disease resistance of artificial inoculation and natural occurrence,economic traits,as well as the appearance quality,chemical composition,sensory evaluation quality of cured tobacco leaves of new flue-cured tobacco varieties(lines),the comprehensive results showed that WSM2,WSM9,WSM1,and WSM8 exhibited excellent comprehensive traits,significantly better than the control varieties.They can be used for the layout display and production demonstration experiments of backup flue-cured tobacco varieties(lines)in the Southern Anhui tobacco region,as well as for experimental research on supporting cultivation and tobacco leaves cured techniques.
