Abstract

Tobacco is an important pleasure plant with economic value. Turkey has made a place for itself in this market with the oriental tobaccos grown in the world. This study was carried out in the laboratories of Bingöl University between the years 2020-2021. Some physical (length, width, surface area, average arithmetic diameter, average geometric diameter, sphericity, thousand-grain weight) and physiological (germination rate and germination time) of tobacco seeds stored in different years (1 year-5 years-10 years-15 years) under controlled conditions properties were examined comparatively. It was determined that the commercial value of the seeds decreased gradually after the storage period of 5 years. It is aimed that the data obtained in this study will help producers and researchers in production, storage, breeding research and mechanization applications.
