Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the effects of some plant nutrients applied to seedbed compost on seedling quality in 2019 in the seedbed of Ege University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Field Crops, in Turkey. In the trial Izmir-Ozbas tobacco variety was used and experimental design was Randomized Complete Parcel Design with three replications. In the study, lenght of the seedling (cm), number of the leaf (per/plant), stem diameter (mm), h ealthy seedlings per square (pcs/m 2 ), l enght of the root (cm), fresh stem and root weight (g/plant), dry stem and root weight (g/plant) were evaluated. According to the results, the longest lenght of seedling and stem diameter was found in K2 doses (potassium doses: 400 g/parcel) as 20.5 cm and 4.1 mm, respectively. Besides, number of the leaf, healthy seedling per square and lenght of the root were 7.8-8.4 per/plant, 2.1-3.3 pcs/m 2 , 2.6-2.8 cm, respectively. Considering the results , a s the amount of potassium applied increased, the amount of length of the seedling, stem diameter and length of the root increased as well.

Summary
Tobacco is an industial plant of great economic importance in the world and in Turkey This plant provides wide employment opportunities to a certain group of people from production to evaluation stage and it has been grown in various regions of fa mily agriculture due to its suitable for the ecological conditions and social structure of our country (Ekren, 2007). The minerals directly or organic compound structures indirectly affect the smoking quality of tobaccos and affect the physical, chemical and quality characteristics of the leaves either positively of negatively (Sekin et al, 2002). The aim of this researh was to determine the effects of plant nutritients on seedling quality in tobacco cultivation
