Herbicide Trials 2002
Only one herbicide trail was conducted.
Conditions were dry with heavy weed pressure
which can be seen by the dramatic effect of the
weedy plots on yield. All treatments performed
statistically similar.

Insecticide Trials
Orthene had significantly more flea beetles than
most Platinum and Admire treatments and more flea
beetle damage than all but the check in early
ratings. In later ratings no flea beetle
differences were detecting among the treatments.
Aphid colonies were higher where Orthene alone
was used as a transplant water treatment than
most of the Platinum and Admire treatments but
was not different from the check. The Admire
drench yielded significantly lower than some of
the other treatments.

Growth Regulators
Messenger and Orthene were tested for possible
influence on tobacco growth. In Fayette County
there were no significant differences between
treatments and the check for vigor in July. The
OrtheneMessenger plots were significantly more
uniform than the check. There was no significant
difference in bloom stage or vigor in August. In
Pulaski County black shank caused significant
impact on the test. The check was more vigorous
and uniform than the treated plots and black
shank was greater in the Messenger plots. Black
shank incidence did not appear to be related to
Messenger use.
