Abstract
Abstract Flue-cured tobacco was transplanted in 21.3 ft (13 plants) × 8 ft (2 rows) plots on 8 May. Treatment plots were arranged in a randomized complete block design replicated 4 times. The test site had a Chesterfleld-Mayodan-Bourne sandy loam soil with a 5.8 pH and ca. 2% organic matter. Transplant water treatments were applied in 200 gal of solution/acre (116 ml/plant) using a hand-operated transplanter. Temik 15G was applied in a 12-inch band using a Gandy granular applicator mounted on a pushcart on 2 May. It was then incorporated with a rotary tiller and the soil was bedded up for transplanting. Insect counts were made once every 1-2 weeks from mid May to mid August. On the first 3 days flea beetle feeding holes were counted on 5 plants/plot. Throughout the study, flea beetles and green peach aphids on 4 upper leaves were counted on 5 plants/plot. Tobacco in one row of each plot was harvested, cured and graded by a USDA Marketing Service grader to determine yield and market price. Data was analyzed using ANOVA and means were compared using DMRT.
