Abstract

The trials were conducted at the experimental field of the Scientific Tobacco Institute – Prilep during the 2023 growing season. Eight recognized varieties of the Prilep type were planted: P 10 3/2 (control), NS 72, Prilep 79-94, Prilep 26, Prilep 123/7, P 66 9, P 76/86 and P 90. The trial was set up using the randomized block design with three replications. Harvested tobacco was evaluated in accordance with the current Rulebook for the purchase of unprocessed oriental aromatic tobacco leaves ("Official Gazette of the Republic of North Macedonia", No. 250/2021). In parallel with these trials, gross monetary income was also calculated based on evaluation of tobacco as if sold only in first class (353.65 MKD/kg), which was the case during the 2023 harvest. Therefore, the aim of this research was to compare gross monetary income (MKD/ha) ) when assessing tobacco by classes (I, II and III class) with the purchase of tobacco only in the first class, where the purchase price for all classes was 353.65 MKD. Gross monetary income per unit area essentially represents a synthesis of yield and quality results, shown through the percentage of high-quality classes and the average price (MKD/ha). Data on average price (MKD/kg) and gross monetary income (MKD/ha) were statistically processed using the method of analysis of variance and the LSD test. According to the results obtained from the tested varieties that were grown in the same soil and climatic conditions, the gross monetary income of the P 66 9 varieties, when assessed by classes (I, II and III class), averages 919 070 MKD/ha, while when assessed only in the first class, it would amount to 1 112 229 MKD /ha. Among the tested varieties, the variety P 90 also stood out, with an average gross income of 860 333 MKD/ha when evaluated by class, and 1 008 963 MKD/ha if evaluated only as first class. Variety P 90, when evaluated by class according to the valid Rulebook, demonstrated good quality and a higher average price of 301.6 MKD/kg. From a practical standpoint, these results can serve as useful guidance for primary producers when selecting tobacco varieties in the future.
