The aim of the study was to determine in the effects of worm fertilizer on Aegean type tobacco yield and some quality parameters. The search was carried out in a farmer field in Saruhanli district of Manisa province in 2019. Saribaglar-407 type tobacco was used as a research material. Experimental design was Randomized Complete Parcel Design with three replications. In this research, plant height (cm), number of the leaves (per/plant), cured leaf yield (kg ha<sup>-1</sup>), tobacco visual quality, leaf priming position (%), total alkaloid (nicotine) (%), total reducing sugar (%) and chlorine (%) were determined. Plant height, number of the leaves, yield, nicotine, total reducing sugar and chlorine contents were found 126.7 cm, 48 per/plant, 141 kg ha<sup>-1</sup>, 1.02%, 9.08% and 0.48%, respectively. An increase in the middle stalk position of the plant was recorded with the application of fertilizer and the results were obtained among the appropriate values for tobacco of the Aegean region in terms of chemical composition.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> tobacco, worm fertilizer, yield, nicotine.</p> ER -
