ABSTRACT
The need to create and introduce new and more productive oriental varieties of tobacco with better quality than the existing ones permanently increases. As a result of scientific and research work on this problem during the last two decades, the Department of genetics and breeding in Tobacco Institute-Prilep created a great number new lines of Prilep tobacco with significantly better quality compared to the standard. Some of them were recognized as varieties, among which Prilep 66–9/7 should be especially emphasized for its productivity.
