Tobacco Yield

Nicotiana tabacum L.

Tobacco yield is defined as the weight of dry commercial raw material per unit area. This indicator is closely related to varietal characteristics, planting density, and qualitative leaf characteristics.

In the reference 77 varieties crop Tobacco, where this is mentioned in the description.

Tobacco yield is measured in centners or tons per hectare. Global averages are 12–18 c/ha, whereas under intensive cultivation technologies with optimized irrigation and mineral nutrition, yields can reach 25–50 c/ha.

The recording methodology is based on biometric observations, harvesting via sequential leaf priming or cutting the entire plant, and subsequent weighing of the dried and fermented raw material. When assessing yield, it is important to maintain a balance with commercial quality: excessive nitrogen application increases biomass but negatively affects the chemical composition and consumer properties of the leaves.
