VARIABILITY AND HERITABILITY OF YIELD AND OTHER QUANTITATIVE CHARACTERS IN NATU TOBACCO

Published on Oct 06, 2020 03:13 AM

THE indigenous tobaccos (Nicotiana tabacum L.) grown in Andhra Pradesh fall
into two distinct groups-those grown in the islands of the Godavari and
Krishna rivers and those grown in the plains. The tobaccos grown in the
plains are characterised by sessile, long and linear leaves with folded or wavy
leaf-margins. The indigenous tobaccos grown in Mysore and Madras States
have broad, medium long, leaves. Thus, a high range of variability exists in
these types of tobaccos. A systematic study giving information on genetic
variability and heritability for agro-morphological characters is
