재배환경과 품질이 크게 상이한 한국의 만기작과 조기작, 그리이스 관행 재배에서의 생육환경, 잎담배의 화학성분 변화와 품질과의 관계를 분석한 결과, 1. 생육중 강우량은 한국의 만기작＆gt; 조기작＆gt; 그리이스작 순으로 적고, 일조시수는 강우량의 역순이었으며, 조기작은 만기작에 비해 이식후 30∼80일 기간중 강우량이 60% 적고, 일조시수는 20% 많았다. 2. 그리이스작은 한국 재배엽에 비하여 전질소, 니코틴, 석유에텔 추출물함량이 현저히 높았다. 그리이스작＆gt;조기작＆gt;만기작 순으로 휘발성 유기산, 정유성분 중성부의 함량이 높고 품질이 좋았으며, 조기작은 만기작보다 회분함량과 pH가 크게 낮았다. 3. 건조엽의 품질과 석유에텔추출물, 휘발성 유기산, 전질소함량은 정의 상관, 회분함량은 부의 상관을 보였다. 4. 품질평가를 위한 지수로는 총 휘발성 유기산(mg/100g), (equation omitted) 접합도가 높았다.

Some climatic factors and quality-ralated chemical properties were compared among conventional late and early transplanting in Korea, and conventional growing in Greece where climate for tobacco growth and quality is quite different from Korea. Precipitations were lowest and sunshine hours were highest for greece planting. Rainfall was 40% or less and the number of sunshine hours was higher by 20% or more in early transplanting than in conventional late planting during the period from 30 days to 80 days after transplanting in Korea. The content of total nitrogen, nicotine, petroleum ether extracts of leaves were much higher in Greece planting than those in Korea planting. The content of volatile organic acids and volatile neutrals were highest with Greece culture, followed by early and late transplanting in Korea. The leaf quality evaluated by price showed the same trends. Ash content and pH level of leaves were considerably lower in early transplanting than late planting. Petroleum ether extracts, volatile organic acids and total nitrogen showed significant positive correlation coefficients with assigned grade price, while ash content showed significant negative correlation coefficients. Quality indices were deviced and applied for the Quality evaluation.
