Abstract
Shirley, Galloway, and Williams examined the effects of tray-drench insecticide applications for aphid control and reduction of insect-transmitted viruses such as Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV), and POTY virus, and other viruses on tobacco. Platinum, Admire, and Orethene 97 were applied to determine which insecticide application worked best. All chemicals were applied one day prior to setting. The desired amount of chemicals was sprayed over the trays and watered into the root zone of the tobacco transplant. Tobacco was set according to a complete block design with four replications of each treatment. After the first early rating was taken, all tobacco was sprayed with Tracer and Dipel for worm control.
