The study was done in 1979 to establish the proper mulching culture method for an aromatic tobacco ST 375-4. Three different methods of mulching, improved mulching (I.M.), general mulching (G.M.) and nonmulching (N.M.), were employed. The number of seedlings per hole was 5 for I.M., and one for G.M. and N.M. In comparison with N.M., I.M. had shortened final date of leaf harvest by 14 days, enabling curing leaves before the rainy season. It also reduced transplanting labour hours by 44.9% Yield and price value increased with improved mulching culture. There was little difference in relative light intensity at leaves between N.M. and I.M.
