Two trials were established to look at alternatives to endosulfan. Since worms are the main alternatives to endosulfan. Since worms are the main late season concern provide an aphid product was used late season concern provide an aphid product was used at transplanting, products specific to worms should at transplanting, products specific to worms should be sufficient. One trial compared Denim and Tracer, be sufficient. One trial compared Denim and Tracer, two worm specific products. They provides good two worm specific products. They provides good control with comparable yields. A second trial control with comparable yields. A second trial compared Denim, Dipel and Orthene with a untreated compared Denim, Dipel and Orthene with a untreated check. The Dipel treated tobacco produced check. The Dipel treated tobacco produced significantly more yield than the untreated check. significantly more yield than the untreated check.

Insecticide residues are of major concern in the tobacco Insecticide residues are of major concern in the tobacco industry. Some tobacco companies has stipulated in their industry. Some tobacco companies has stipulated in their contract that specific insecticides should not be used in contract that specific insecticides should not be used in burley tobacco production. That chemical is endosulfan burley tobacco production. That chemical is endosulfan (Golden Leaf). Two trials were established to look at (Golden Leaf). Two trials were established to look at alternatives to endosulfan. Since worms are the main late alternatives to endosulfan. Since worms are the main late season concern provide an aphid product was used at season concern provide an aphid product was used at transplanting, products specific to worms should be transplanting, products specific to worms should be sufficient. One trial compared Denim and Tracer, two sufficient. One trial compared Denim and Tracer, two worm specific products. They provides good control with worm specific products. They provides good control with comparable yields. A second trial compared Denim, Dipel comparable yields. A second trial compared Denim, Dipel and Orthene with a untreated check. The Dipel treated and Orthene with a untreated check. The Dipel treated tobacco produced significantly more yield than the tobacco produced significantly more yield than the untreated check.untreated check.
