Quality characteristics of Burley tobacco irrigated with saline water

Influence of mineral matter content on static burning rate of Virginia tobacco from different production areas in Serbia

“…Also, it is important to emphasize that there was a statistically strong positive correlation (r = 0.58) between amount of Cd in tobacco samples and the amount of organic matter in the soil (Table 8). The results showed that there was a very strong positive correlation between the pH value of soils and the amount of Hg (r = 0.89) in tobacco samples, which is consistent with the literature data Sifola, 2005).…”

“…Heavy metals, found in the lowest concentrations, were Pb and Hg. Thus, the tobacco from this region contains the smallest quantity of heavy metals, except Cd, which is consistent with literature data (Sifola and Postiglione, 2002;Sifola, 2005). Tobacco reabsorb smaller amounts of heavy metals, with the exception of Cd, if the pH value of soil is lower (Tsadilas et al, 2005).…”

“…Very strong statistically significant correlation between Pb content (r = 0.77), as well as Cu content (r = 0.75) and pH value of soil also confirmed obtained results. According to the literature data, the plant absorbed less amounts of heavy metals, if the pH of soil is less Sifola, 2005). Large amounts of Pb and Cu can be explained by vicinity of the the regional road and the food industry in the Senta region, as well as vicinity to highly developed chemical industry in theŠabac region.…”

“…Influence of fertilization and irrigation on morphological and chemical characteristics of tobacco plant has been well explored and documented (Sifola and Postiglione, 2002;Karaivazoglou et al, 2005;Sifola, 2005;Tsadilas et al, 2005;Bilalis et al, 2009;Ç akir and Ç ebi, 2010). Mineral matter plays an important role in tobacco metabolism during its growth (Kastori, 1990;Veresoglou et al, 1987).…”

Yield, water use and yield response factor of flue‐cured tobacco under different levels of water supply at various growth stages

“…A few of them are related to the effect of irrigation with saline water on growth and yield components (Sifola and Postiglione, 2002;Karaivazoglou et al, 2005) of broadleaf Virginia and Burley tobacco types, and on quality characteristics of fieldgrown Burley (Sifola, 2005) or oriental tobacco (Karaivazoglou et al, 2006). Some of the papers published during recent years discussed the effect of various irrigation techniques (Perkins et al, 2001), while others are related to the effect of irrigation water amount on yield (Assimi, 2002) or to the effect of different irrigation management on tobacco yield in comparison with dry land farming (Assimi et al, 2004).…”
