A recommended variety, Yellow Special A, from a uniform field with the same fertilizer treatments was used to furnish fresh leaves in order to compare the effects on quality of tobacco of four curing systems, namely: wood, oil burner, coal stoker, and conditioned air. The items investigated included color, aroma, loss of weight, government grade, market value, and chemical properties. The results were analyzed statistically.
