Abstract: In order to explore the measures of saving labor force and energy during the development of tobacco agriculture modernization, loose-leaf bulk curing barn which heating by far-infrared was designed and its saving of labor and energy-saving and baking results were investigated. The results showed that, compared with the way of a conventional coal-fired hanging poles’ flue-cured tobacco, the far-infrared loose tobacco curing barn’s tobacco leaf loading density increased 2.3 times, labor costs reduced by 73.6%, environmental pollution was prevented. In addition, using the far-infrared loose tobacco curing barn can improve tobacco leaves’ economic traits and external quality and internal quality significantly.
