Abstract Flue-cured tobacco was transplanted on 29 Mar at the Coastal Plain Experiment Station in Tifton, GA. Production practices were used according to Georgia Cooperative Extension Service guidelines. A preplant incorporated tank mix of the following was applied: Tillam and Devrinol for weed control, Ridomil for blue mold control, Nemacur for nematode suppression, and Lorsban for wireworm and mole cricket control. Fertilizer (6-6-18) was applied in a split application at a rate of 1000 lb/acre. Plots 4 rows wide (44 inch row spacing) × 20 ft long were arranged in a RCBD with 4 replications. On 9 Jul all plants in each plot were cut down to a 12 inch mainstalk and all leaves were removed. All cut plants were then allowed to regrow with 2-3 main shoots. On 23 Jul, 5 insecticide treatments (plus an untreated control) were applied to the center 2 rows of selected plots using a CO2-powered backpack sprayer equipped with three TX-12 nozzles directed over a single row, delivering 30.3 gpa at 40 psi. The number of live hornworms was recorded per 10 plants on row 2 of each plot prior to the application, and 5, 10, and 14 DAT. All data were subjected to ANOVA and Duncan’s Multiple Range Test.

Abstract Flue-cured tobacco, CV ‘K-326’, was trans-planted on 29 Mar at the Coastal Plain Experiment Station in Tifton, GA. Production practices were used according to Georgia Cooperative Extension Service guidelines. A pre-plant incorporated tank mix of the following was applied: Tillam and Devrinol for weed control, Ridomil for blue mold control, Nemacur for nematode suppression, and Lorsban for wireworm and mole cricket control. Fertilizer (6-6-18) was applied in a split application at a rate of 0.5 ton/acre. Plots 4 rows wide (44 inch row spacing) X 20 ft long were arranged in a RCB design with 4 replications. On 11 Jul, all plants in each plot were cut down to a 12 inch mainstalk, all leaves were removed, and 100 lb/acre of additional nitrogen (16-0-0) was applied. All cut plants were then allowed to regrow with 2-3 main shoots. On 26 Jul, 9 insecticide treatments (plus an untreated control) were applied to the center 2 rows of selected plots using a CO2-powered backpack sprayer equipped with three TX-12 nozzles directed over a single row, delivering 23.2 gpa at 40 psi. The granular materials were hand applied on all available foliage. The number of live hornworms was recorded per 5 plants on row 2 of each plot prior to the application, and 3, 7, and 10 d after treatment (DAT). The percent defoliation was visually estimated 10 DAT. All data were subjected to ANOVA and DMRT (P = 0.05).

Production Practices

Abstract Flue-cured ‘K-326’ tobacco was transplanted on 1 Apr at the Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station Bowen Farm. Production practices were used according to Georgia Cooperative Extension Service guidelines and included a preplant tank mixture of Tillman, Devrinol, Ridomil, and Nemacur. Fertilizer (6-6-18) was applied at the rate of 1000 lb/acre in a split application. On 24 Jun, tops were removed and leaves stripped from all plants in the test area, and 16-0-0 fertilizer was applied at a rate of 100 lb/acre. In early Jul, all suckers except the 2 main shoots were removed from each plant. On 16 Jul the test site was partitioned into 24 plots that were 4 rows wide X 20 ft long, with 6 plots power range (replication) arranged in a RB design with 4 replications. The left row of each plot was left untreated (fallow border row) and the remaining 3 rows were treated with a selected insecticide using a CO2-powered backpack sprayer equipped with three TX-12 nozzles per row at 40 psi. One treatment served as an untreated control. The number of live hornworm larvae on plants 2-6 on the middle treated row was recorded from each plot 2, 5 and 8 d after treatment (DAT). Treatments were reapplied on 25 Jul and hornworm counts taken 3, 7, and 10 DAT. On 4 Aug, plants 2-6 on the center row were visually rated for % defoliation and also rated for aphid infestations. Aphid ratings ranged from 0 to 7, with 0 = no aphids, 1 = > 10 aphids/plant, 2 = 10-100 aphids/plant, 3 = 100-500 aphids/plant, 4 = 500-1500 aphids/plant, 5 = 1500-3000 aphids/plant, 6 = 3000-5000 aphids/plant, and 7 = > 5000 aphids/plants. All count data and defoliation and aphid ratings were subjected to analysis of variance and the means were separated using DMRT (P = 0.05).

The vegetable budgets presented in these reports are intended to reflect production practices that are considered typical for any given crop in a given area. A consensus of opinion among UF/IFAS personnel and various producers in each production area define typical production practices for each crop. Cost estimates resulting from this process should not be considered as representing the average cost of production in a statistical sense, nor should they be considered as necessarily relating to recommended production practices. The intent of these cost budgets is to establish a benchmark within the range of actual costs that could be expected to produce the crop. This is EDIS document FE436, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, UF/IFAS, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

Abstract This experiment was conducted at the VPI and SU Southern Piedmont Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Blackstone, VA, to evaluate TA and TBW control on flue-cured tobacco with various combinations of foliar and soil-applied systemic insecticides. Tobacco was transplanted into experimental plots, 8 X 40 ft (2 rows × 24 plants), 12 May. Ten treatments were established in a randomized complete block design with 4 replications. The Temik soil treatments were applied in 14-inch bands using a tractor-mounted Gandy granular applicator and immediately covered with 6 inches of soil during bed formation on 11 May. Foliar treatments were applied on 9 and 30 Jul using a CO2-pressurized backpack sprayer that delivered 27 gpa at 60 psi through 3, TX-10 nozzles/row. Production practices followed Virginia Cooperative Extension Service recommendations except for insect control. TA populations were estimated on the upper 4 leaves of 10 plants per plot before foliar treatments were applied and at 3, 7, 12, and 20 d after the first application and 4 and 11 d after the second application. TBW were reared in the laboratory on artificial media for 7 d and released at one BW/plant on 20 consecutive plants in the second row of each plot on 6 Jul. TBW on the infested plants were counted on the d before treatment and at 3, 6, and 12 DAT. Leaves were harvested, cured, weighed, and graded by a USDA/AMS inspector. This information was used to calculated tobacco yield and price. Data were analyzed by ANOVA and significantly different means were separated by DMRT. TA count data were transformed to Log10 (x + 1) and TBW counts were transformed to SQRT (x + 0.5) before ANOVA.

Abstract The efficacy of 14 insecticides for control of velvetbean caterpillars and stink bugs was evaluated at the University of Georgia Coastal Plain Experiment Station, Tifton, GA. The insecticides were foliar-applied on 31 Aug on ‘Cook’ soybeans planted on 17 May. Individual plots were 4 rows wide × 50 ft long with alleys 6 ft wide on each end and 2 border rows on each side, arranged in a RCBD with 4 replications. Each spray concentrate was applied with a CO2-powered backpack sprayer with 4, TX-12 nozzles on a 6 ft boom (2 nozzles per row) at 40 psi that delivered 17.6 gal/acre. Each plot was sampled prior to treatment and on 2, 7, 14 and 21 DAT, by taking a 20-sweep sample (15-inch diam net) from a single row. Soybeans were in the R5 growth stage (pods rilling with seeds) during the testing period. At 28 DAT, the percent defoliation was visually estimated for all plots. The data were subjected to ANOVA and Duncan’s multiple range test.
