MORPHOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF SOME DOMESTIC AND INTRODUCED BURLEY TOBACCO VARIETIES (LINES) IN AGROECOLOGICAL CONDITIONS OF PRILEP Ilija Risteski, Karolina Kocoska 1, Žarko Hristoski 21 University”St.Kliment Ohridski”-Bitola, Scientific Tobacco Institute-Prilep, Kicevskа bb 7500 Prilep, Republic of Macedonia, e-mail: ilija.r@t-home.mk 2 AD Tobacco Combine-Prilep ABSTRACT Two-year investigations (2008-2009) were carried out in the region of Prilep with six domestic and introduced varieties (lines) of Burley tobacco. Investigations were prompted by the needs of Macedonian fabrication for this type of raw, which has been fully supplied from imports. Although the region of Prilep is considered less suitable for production of Burley, results have shown that domestic varieties Pelagonec CMS F1 and B-98/N CMS F8 can be grown with great success. According to the number and size of the 5th, 10th and 15th leaf, these varieties can achieve high yields and quality typical for Burley tobacco.
