The Tobacco Curing Generator 2.7 Quart Ethy-Gen® II Reservoir		Best-Cure® Generator 4.0 Quart Ethy-Gen® II Reservoir

The Advantages of Using Tobacco Curing Generators

Less Yellowing Time: Cuts up to 15 hours off normal yellowing time and get higher quality, more valuable leaves.
Less Wilting and Drying Time: Cut up to 15 hours off normal wilting and drying time.
Evens Out Color: Fewer green butts, green fibers and other "off" colors.
All Seasons: Dramatically improves curing for dry, wet or normal seasons.
Portable: One generator can serve as many as six curing systems.
Lower Curing Cost: Curing expenses are cut by $30 to $60 per cure.
Costs Less: Ethylene is the same regardless of whether you make it yourself or buy it ready made. Two quarts of Ethy-Gen® II Ripening Concentrate make at least 1.14 pounds of ethylene and you can save up to 45% over cylinder gas cost.
Proven Results: University field tests prove that Tobacco Curing Generators speed leaf curing and improve tobacco grade while more leaf weight is retained.
Higher Market Price: University studies also show that prices of treated tobacco can be up to 11 cents more per pound. Growers report a more uniform color with less green - just what buyers want.
Natural Process: Ethy-Gen® II, used in the generator, changes into ethylene, a natural plant hormone that triggers curing changes in mature tobacco leaves.
Safe from Leaf-Drop: Leaf-drop caused by wind and storms is eliminated by using in the curing system instead of the field as sprayed chemical systems require.
No Leaf Residue: the generators leave absolutely no residue on tobacco leaves.
Works on Mature Tobacco: Will not work on immature tobacco; harvest only mature, ripe leaf.
