Flue Cured Virginia (FCV) tobacco (Nicotiana tobaccum L.) is a promising commercial crop in semi-arid and rain-fed areas delivering economic benefits to farmers in comparison to all other crops cultivated. In India, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka are the major states cultivating FCV tobacco. In Karnataka, it is cultivated in Karnataka Light Soils (KLS) covering southern transitional zone during kharif season as a rainfed crop. Currently, Kanchan, FCH-222 and CH-3 are the popular cultivars grown in KLS region. Release of improved high yielding varieties/hybrids is the key for varietal diversification and yield enhancement of tobacco in this region. In this connection, commercial exploitation of F1 hybrids through heterosis breeding can play a significant role in enhancing yield and quality. Further very few reports on studies on standard heterosis in FCV Tobacco are available. Hence, the present study involving eight CMS hybrids was undertaken to estimate standard heterosis for yield and yield related traits, and to ascertain interrelationships among the yield related characters and their influence on cured leaf yield. Eight CMS based hybrids (CMS2×A4, CMS6×A4, CMS7×A4, CMS10×A4, CMS2×CY142, CMS6×CY142, CMS7×CY142, CMS10×CY14) were evaluated at ICAR- CTRI, Research Station, Hunsur, Karnataka, India along with checks for three years (2018-21). Significant higher heterosis in desirable direction for cured leaf yield and for various yield attributing characters was observed among the hybrids, which can be exploited commercially.
