Abstract: To promote the automation of curing and coal-adding technology in flue-cured tobacco production, the authors compared the comprehensive benefits before and after the automation. The results showed that: compared with manual coal-adding treatment, the coal-adding times of automatic coal-adding decreased by 84.13%, the amount of coal consumption per unit of dry tobacco decreased by 16.75%, and the average price of the original tobacco, the proportion of fine tobacco, and the proportion of orange tobacco increased by 3.76%, 3.15% and 4.35%, respectively, and the fresh dry ratio decreased by 3.65%. The effect of automatic coaladding is obvious in reducing cost and labor, improving tobacco quality, and increasing the output value. In a comprehensive view, this single technology can improve the yield of 12.64% per unit area, but also is conducive to agricultural mechanization and environmental protection.
