Abstract: To identify desirable tobacco hybrids for commercial cultivation, an experiment comprising of twelve flue cured Virginia tobacco genotypes, including one check variety, was conducted in Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications at the Tobacco Research Station, Khan Ghari, Mardan during the year 2014-15. Data was recorded on eight agronomical and two chemical parameters. Statistical analysis of the data was performed and the means were separated using the least significant difference (LSD) test. Analysis of variance revealed that the genotypes differed significantly for plant height, number of leaves plant-1, green leaf weight kg plot-1, green leaf number kg-1, cured leaf weight kg plot-1, cured leaf number kg-1, yield ha-1, nicotine percentage in the cured leaf, and reducing sugars percentage. PVH-2310, PVH-2248 and PVH-2233 excelled in performance for yield and quality related traits and may be used in future tobacco research programs.
