Abstract: 

The research was carried out in the Al-Zouba area of Tartous Governorate according to a completely randomized block design on whole plants of the two tobacco varieties: Burley and Virginia, during the 2022 agricultural season, to study the effect of irrigation with municipal fertilizer infusion on some morphological, physiological, qualitative and biochemical characteristics (relative water content) of the two studied varieties, which resulted in Treating the two cultivated varieties of tobacco with an infusion of local fertilizer resulted in a significant increase in all the studied traits compared to the control treatment. The results showed that the studied traits were most affected by treatment with the organic fertilizer infusion, which were leaf area, dry weight of leaves, leaf specific gravity, and photosynthesis efficiency. The two studied varieties responded in the same way to treatment with the organic fertilizer infusion, in all the studied traits, with the Virginia variety superior in all the studied traits. Except for the quality of water content, which was superior to the Burley variety (78.5%). Which shows the importance of adding local fertilizer to improve the growth of tobacco varieties, for example, and obtain the best production and highest quality.

Keywords: municipal compost, tobacco, representative efficiency, leaf specific weight.
