Tobacco growing season

Nicotiana tabacum L.

This is the time interval from the moment of transplanting seedlings into the soil until the leaves reach technical maturity, measured in days. The duration of this period determines the choice of cultivation region, potential yield, and the quality of the raw material obtained.

In the reference 26 varieties crop Tobacco, where this is mentioned in the description.

The duration of the growing season for tobacco varieties ranges from 45–55 days for early-maturing forms to 130–140 days or more for late-maturing ones. There is a direct correlation between the length of this period and the number of leaves on the plant: late-maturing varieties are capable of forming a greater number of leaves under favorable conditions, which increases crop productivity.

In regions with short summers, priority is given to early-maturing varieties, as they are able to reach technical maturity before the onset of adverse weather factors. A lack of light, moisture, or nutrients can lead to an extension of the growing season, which negatively affects the quality of the finished raw material.
