Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Temperature, Moisture, and Relative Humidity of Stored Tobacco
Flue cured tobacco is aged for a minimum of 2 or 3 years. During this period, the tobacco mellows, develops a characteristic aroma and color, and improves in burning quality. Despite the many years that have passed since producers first began aging tobacco, the amount of published data on the temperature and moisture of the commodity during storage is meager. While in storage, tobacco is subject to attack by insects.
To better understand the ecology of insects that attack tobacco, we obtained data on out? Side and warehouse temperatures and relative humidities, and on the effects of these factors on temperature and moisture of tobacco in storage. These data were obtained during 1967 from a tobacco warehouse in Wilson, N. C.
