Abstract:

To evaluate the effects of different suckercides on the economic characteristics and intrinsic quality of flue-cured tobacco Ji yan 9 was used to study the effects of different suckercides on the inhibiting effect of tobacco axillary buds, botanical characteristics, economic character and the intrinsic quality after topping by field experiment. Results indicated that good inhibiting effects of tobacco axillary buds were obtained 6  to 9 days later after applying chemical suckercides; good inhibiting effect of tobacco axillary buds were obtained 9 to 22 days later after applying the new suckercide 1, and as for the new suckercide 2, daubing has a better effect than showering but worse than other treatments. Tobacco production and value can be increased by applying the suckering agents. Chemical suckercide leads to poor economic characteristics, while the new suckercide 1 considerably increased production, producing relatively high value; the new suckercide 2 less increased production but produced considerably high value, especially after applying daubing, improving the quality of leaf appearance and harmonizing of chemical composition. Among all treatments, the controlled produced the highest amount of gross tobacco aroma, daubing new suckercide 2 ranks second, followed by daubing chemical suckercide, while other treatments offer low productions of gross tobacco aroma. The tobacco production and quality with its economic efficiency were increased significantly by daubing new suckercide 2.
