Delgold is a superior flue-cured tobacco cultivar developed at the Agriculture Canada Research Station, Delhi, Ontario in 1980 by crossing Babor Rustica with two popular American varieties, Hicks Broadleaf and Virginia 115. The result is a high-yielding flu cured cultivar with a nicotine content of 2.2%. Delgold is one of the best known bright leaf varieties and still considered one of the better yielding flue-cured varieties available for commercial tobacco production. It is fast growing reaching 5-6 feet in height, and produces large, wide, heavy grade light green leaves. Matures in 70-75 days.
