Abstract Flue-cured tobacco, CV K-326’, was transplanted on 6 Apr at the Coastal Plain Experiment Station, Tifton, GA. Production practices were carried out according to Georgia Cooperative Extension Service recommendations. A pre-plant incorporated tank mix of the following was applied: Tillam and Devrinol for weed control, Ridomil for blue mold control, and Nemacur for nematode suppression. Fertilizer (6-6-18) was applied in a split application at a rate of 1000 lb/acre. Plots 3 rows wide (36 inch row spacing) × 20 ft long were arranged in a RCBD with 4 replications. Seven insecticide treatments, plus an untreated control, were applied on 4 weekly intervals in Test 1 beginning on 14 May and continuing until 4 Jun to control tobacco budworms that averaged around 3 worms per 8 plants. The foliar sprays were applied with a CO2-powered backpack sprayer equipped with three TX-12 nozzles directed over a single row, delivering 30.3 gpa at 40 psi. Each plot was separated by an untreated border row and an alley 4 ft wide on each end. The number of live small, medium, and large tobacco budworms per 8 plants on row 2 of each plot was recorded prior to treatment and 4 and 7 DAT. The number of live aphids on the 4 uppermost leaves was recorded on plants 2, 4 and 6 on row 2 of each plot on each sampling date. The number of live thrips was recorded on plant 6 on row 2 of each plot on each sampling date in May, then these counts were discontinued due to low population densities. Budworm damage ratings (% defoliation) also were taken on 14 Jun. Beginning on 1 Jul the lower leaves on 8 plants on row 2 were harvested. A total of 4 harvests (primings) was gathered from each plot and yield estimates and quality ratings were obtained. All data were subjected to ANOVA. In this same field of tobacco additional plots were cut back to 1 ft stalks and all leaves removed on 1 Jul. This tobacco was allowed to regrow (2-3 main suckers per plant). On 14 Jul, 11 insecticide treatments plus an untreated control were applied to plots 3 rows wide × 20 ft long arranged in a RCBD with 4 replications, using application techniques previously described. All treatments were reapplied on 22 Jul. The number of live budworms and hornworms per 8 plants on row 2 of each plot was recorded prior to treatment and 5 and 8 DAT following the 1st applications and 5, 8, and 14 DAT following the second applications. Budworm and hornworm defoliation ratings were obtained on 5 Aug. All data were subjected to ANOVA.
