Abstract

CTH2 is the first flue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) hybrid recommended for commercial release in Canada. Yields and economic returns of CTH2 are significantly higher than the check varieties, Delgold and CT157. It has uniform growth both in the greenhouse and in the field, and is resistant to black root rot disease (Chalara elegans Nag Raj and Kendrick, causal agent). Leaf quality traits of CTH2 are far superior to Delgold, as well as commercial varieties that are also immune to black root rot disease. Key words: Nicotiana tabacum L., tobacco, hybrid, male sterility, black root rot, cultivar description
