CTH144 is a new flue-cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) hybrid recommended for commercial release in Canada. The cured leaf quality of CTH144 was superior to both check varieties Delgold and CT157. The yield potential of CTH144 was intermediate compared with the checks. As a result, the economic return of CTH144 is superior to both check varieties. CTH144 has resistance to Tobacco Mosaic Virus. CTH144 is adapted to the tobacco-growing areas of southwestern Ontario.

ABSTRAK<br />Tembakau Temanggung merupakan komoditas penting bahan baku<br />industri rokok kretek, sumber pendapatan petani dan PAD Kabupaten<br />Temanggung. Selain itu, tembakau juga menjadi pemicu pertumbuhan<br />kegiatan ekonomi lainnya yang terkait dengan usahatani, seperti<br />transportasi, penyediaan sarana produksi pertanian serta penyediaan<br />lapangan kerja. Usahatani tembakau Temanggung menghadapi 3 (tiga)<br />masalah utama, yaitu: sifat tembakau Temanggung yang tergolong fancy<br />product, struktur pasar yang monopsonistik dan kondisi lahan usahatani<br />yang beragam (beragam menurut elevasi, arah lereng dan tingkat<br />kemiringan lereng). Kondisi lahan tersebut mengakibatkan mutu tembakau<br />menjadi beragam, dan cenderung menurun bahkan mengancam keber-<br />lanjutan usahatani tembakau. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan bulan Januari<br />2004 - Maret 2005 di sentra produksi tembakau Temanggung, yang<br />memiliki beberapa perbedaan berdasarkan elevasi, arah lereng dan tingkat<br />kemiringan. Untuk mengetahui ragam mutu dan produktivitas dianalisis<br />dengan sidik ragam. Untuk mengetahui pengaruh elevasi, arah dan<br />kemiringan  lereng  digunakan  analisis  regresi  berganda.  Dalam<br />menganalisis keberlanjutan usahatani, digunakan multi atribut non-<br />parametrik yang diolah dengan multidimentional scaling (MDS). Mutu dan<br />produktivitas tembakau Temanggung cukup beragam. Elevasi dan arah<br />lereng (slope aspect) merupakan faktor utama yang mempengaruhi mutu<br />dan produktivitas tembakau Temanggung. Mutu tembakau yang ditanam<br />pada lahan berelevasi di atas 1.000 m dpl, nyata lebih baik dibandingkan<br />dengan mutu tembakau yang ditanam pada lahan yang berelevasi kurang<br />dari 1.000 m dpl. Produktivitas tembakau yang ditanam pada lahan arah<br />lereng ke timur nyata lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan produktivitas<br />tembakau pada lahan arah lereng ke timur laut dan utara. Tingkat<br />kemiringan lereng tidak berpengaruh terhadap mutu maupun produktivitas<br />tembakau. Indeks keberlanjutan usahatani tembakau Temanggung,<br />termasuk kedalam kategori cukup (IKb = 55,53 pada skala keberlanjutan 0<br />– 100).<br />Kata kunci : Tembakau, Nicotiana tabacum L., tembakau Temanggung,<br />mutu, produktivitas, indeks keberlanjutan, usahatani, Jawa<br />Tengah<br />ABSTRACT<br />Analysis of quality, productivity and sustainability and<br />development direction of tobacco farming in Temanggung<br />District, Central Java<br />Temanggung tobacco is an important commodity for cigarette<br />industry, farmers’ income and product domestic regional brutto (PDRB)<br />of Temanggung District. Tobacco stimulates economy activities, so that it<br />can grow other bussiness activities, such as transportation, agroproduct<br />and employment availability. Uncontrolled cultivation intensity and<br />market structure monopsonistic resulted in weak bargaining position of<br />farmer in marketing tobacco. Tobacco is a fancy product, it means that its<br />marketing and transaction are very determined by quality. These<br />conditions affected the sustainability of tobacco farm. This research was<br />carried out from January 2004 to March 2005 in the center of Temanggung<br />tobacco production, which varies in terms of elevation, slope aspect and<br />topography. Temanggung tobacco varies in terms of quality and<br />productivity. Elevation and slope aspect were the primary factors<br />influencing tobacco productivity and quality. The quality of tobacco<br />planted at farmer location at the elevation more than 1.000 m above sea<br />level (asl) with slope facing east, was significantly better than the quality<br />of tobacco planted at the elevation less than 1.000 m asl with slope facing<br />north-east and north. The tobacco productivity planted on the slope facing<br />east differed significantly with the tobacco productivity planted on north-<br />east and north slope facing. The slope did not significantly influence<br />tobacco quality and productivity. Sustainability index of tobacco farm<br />belongs to enough category (IKb = 55.53 at scale of sustainability 0 –<br />100).<br />Key words : Nicotiana tabacum L. Temanggung tobacco, quality,<br />productivity, sustainability index, farming system, Central<br />Java

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) has grown to become a major cash crop and foreign currency earner in Zimbabwe. The crop’s popularity in the country is dependent on the climatic and soil conditions that promote the production of flavour style cures which are well sought after by the majority of tobacco merchants and cigarette manufacturers across the world. The success story of tobacco farming in Zimbabwe is mainly attributed to the presence of an organised research system in the form of the Tobacco Research Board (TRB) that includes a dedicated division in the research unit specialising in variety development and promotion. Improvement in yield and quality of the cured leaf has are the main objectives of flue –cured tobacco breeders. Since the beginning of research in flue cured tobacco production in Zimbabwe, a lot of effort has been dedicated to improving these and other associated traits. This review paper traces the process of breeding for improvement in yield and quality in flue-cured tobacco in Zimbabwe. It shows the methods employed and identifies some of the potential sources of genes for use in improvement in flue-cured tobacco yield and quality in present and future breeding work.

The aim of this research was to describe the ability of vitamin C in improving the spermatogenesis and spermatozoa quality of mice after the treatment of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) extract. The framework of the research was that it was already known that vitamin C was one of the anti-oxidant, which was able to counter free radical of the nicotine obtained in tobacco extract in improving the spermatogenesis. The research would be conducted by grouping the mice into 6 groups, and each group consists of 4 repetitions in 35 days. The first group was as control, the second group was treated with C vitamin in the dosage of 0.024 mg/g of body weight, the third group was treated with tobacco extract in the dosage of 0,121 mg/g of body weight, the fourth group was treated with tobacco extract in the dosage of 0,121 mg/g of body weight and C vitamin of 0,012 mg/g of body weight, the fifth group was treated with tobacco extract in the dosage of 0,121 mg/g of body weight and C vitamin of 0,024 mg/g of body weight, and the sixth group was treated with tobacco extract in the dosage of 0,121 mg/g of body weight and C vitamin of 0,036 mg/g of body weight. Based on the data analysis, it can be concluded that tobacco extract treatment could decrease spermatogenesis quality and spermatozoa quality of mice (Mus musculus L.). C Vitamin could improve spermatogenesis and spermatozoa quality of mice after tobacco extract treatment. The optimal dosage of C vitamin treatment to improve the spermatogenesis and the quality of spermatozoa after the addition of tobacco extract treatment was 0,024 mg/g of weight.
