Abstract
Abstract The purpose of this research was to develop a post-frame structure to utilize wire-frame racks in the curing of burley tobacco in nontraditional growing areas. Since the 2004 federal tobacco quota buyout legislation, burley tobacco production has moved into the piedmont and coastal plain regions of North Carolina, where there was no existing burley curing infrastructure. This presented a unique opportunity to build curing infrastructure based on the most efficient and least costly alternatives. The current trend for mechanically harvested burley tobacco utilizes the cut-notch method. Wire-frame racks are used by many growers as part of an infield curing structure for cut-notch harvested plants. Incorporating wire-frame racks into a post-frame structure provides greater protection from adverse weather than a typical in-field wire-frame curing structure. All of the in-field advantages and mechanisms of wire-frame racks are retained with this design. A 2-tier test building was designed and construct...
期刊介绍：
Chinese Tobacco Science is an academic scientific journal (bimonthly) under the supervision of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of the People's Republic of China, and sponsored by the Tobacco Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the Qingzhou Tobacco Research Institute of China National Tobacco Corporation. It was founded in 1979 and is publicly distributed nationwide. The journal mainly publishes academic papers on scientific research results, new production technologies, and modern management in my country's tobacco science research and tobacco production technology. In addition, it also publishes forward-looking review articles in the field of tobacco research. There are columns such as tobacco genetics and breeding, cultivation technology, modulation and processing, physiology and biochemistry, plant protection, review or monograph, quality chemistry, etc.
