Abstract:

The field trials were studied to define the mature harvest of different leaves of flue-cured tobacco variety ‘K326’. The results showed that the mature degrees that they were 50%, 80% or 90% were better than the other for the lower, middle or upper leaves of ‘K326’, respectively. At the stage of the mature harvest, the leaves of flue-cured tobacco variety ‘K326’ had more favorable appearance quality, economic characters, chemical composition and the highest score of sensory evaluation. Therefore, it suggested that the better yield and quality may be achieved by the mature harvest models for ‘K326’.
