Tobacco is a rich source of phytochemicals having pharmaceutical, agricultural and industrial importance like nicotine an alkaloid, solanesol a trisesquiterpene alcohol and organic acids (malic and citric) etc. With the objective of maximizing leaf biomass production for optimum recovery of nicotine, solanesol and proteins in tobacco, a field experiment was conducted during 2013-15 seasons at BSR farm Katheru with five varieties/ breeding lines (HDBRG, GT-7x A-145, TI-163 X A145, RT 46-1, RT 51-1), three spacings (60 X 40 cm, 70 X 40 cm, 80 x 40cm) and two fertiliser levels (100:50:50 and 150:75:75 kg NPK/ha) tested in split- plot design with three replications. After harvesting green leaf analysed for nicotine solanesol and protein content. HDBRG with 60 x 40cm spacing and 150:75:75 NPK kg/ha recorded higher biomass leaf yields of 392.05 q/ha followed by 60 x40cm spacing and 100:50:50 NPK kg/ha with an yield of 370.64 q/ha with same spacing. Line RT 46-1 followed by TI-163 X A-145 recorded higher nicotine yields with 80 x40 cm spacing and 150:75:75 NPK kg/ha. HDBRG followed by TI-163 X A-145 with a spacing of 70 x40cm and 150:75:75 NPK kg/ha gave higher solanesol yield. HDBRG with 70 x 40cm spacing and 150:75:75 NPK kg/ha recorded higher protein yield which was on par with TI-163 X A-145 at same spacing and fertilizer level.
