Abstract

In order to obtain a Burley tobacco cultivar resistant to the fusarium wilt, blue mold (Peronospora hyocyami de Bary) and black shank (Phytophthora parasitica Dast. var. Nicotianae Breda de Haan) a cross at the Tobacco Experimental Station in San Juan y Martinez, Pinar del Rio province was made during the tobacco crop 2004-2005 between the cultivars ´NC 1151´ y ´Ky 910´. The first one was resistant to the blue mold and fusarium wilt, the second one was resistant to the black shank. After five generations of self-pollination and selection by the pedigree method, `Burley Pinar 2010´ was obtained and it showed resistance to fusarium, blue mold and black shank. In soil infected by fusarium wilt, `Burley Pinar 2010´ surpassed in yields `Burley Havana 13´.
