Popis: Tobacco was stored in small bales of volume 0.05m3 with dimensions 30 × 30 × 60 cm in 1996 and 38 × 38 × 38 cm in 1997 and 1998. Treatments were arranged in a factorial of three densities 259, 324 and 388 kg m−3 and three moisture contents 12, 16 and 20% (wet basis). The area (outside bale), volume (inside bale), and intensity of decay were estimated after seven weeks of storage in 1996 and thirteen weeks of storage in 1997 and 1998. Both volume and intensity of decay on the inside of the bales was positively correlated (P
