Variety traits

Tobacco Plant Height

Nicotiana tabacum L.

A biometric indicator characterizing tobacco varietal features, measured from the soil surface to the point of inflorescence attachment during the flowering stage. This parameter directly determines the cultivar's potential productivity and is taken into account during agrotechnical operations.

In the reference 62 varieties crop Tobacco, where this is mentioned in the description.

When evaluating tobacco height within the framework of state variety testing, measurements are taken during the flowering period, when the plant ceases active growth. In breeding practice, it is important to consider the plant's state before and after the mandatory agrotechnical practice of topping, as the procedure of removing inflorescences affects the final indicator and the distribution of nutrients in favor of leaf formation.

The height range of cultivated Nicotiana tabacum varieties varies from 80–100 cm in short forms to 2.5–3 meters in tall ones, with typical values for many cultivars being 1.2–1.5 m. This trait is inherited dominantly, but it is also strongly influenced by external conditions and planting density.

Plant height serves as a key morphological trait for identifying cultivars and assessing their productivity, as it is closely correlated with the number and size of technical leaves. Optimization of height through agrotechnics allows for an increase in the yield of quality raw material, ensuring a balance between vegetative mass and stem development.
