(Insecticides Needed On Burley Plant Beds Farmers should use insecticides in tobacco plant beds to insure ?gainst losses of newly-set tobacco caused toy the tobacco flea beetle. F. E. Guthrie, tobacco entomolo ;ist at N. C. State College, says >arly field treatment* are usually innecessary if plants are properly xeated in the beds before pulling. 'Not only wilt the plant bed treat ment be effective for flea beetle sontrol, but if DDT is used it will ?lso be I# reduce losses caused in :he field by adults of the vege able weevil," says Guthrie. Re treatment of tobacco trau ilants in tke field may be neces ary in severe infestations of the obacco flea beetle or the vege abls weevil. Parathion as well as DDT has [iven good results against the to >acco flea beetle in plant beda at hree-fourths to Hi pounds of ?ne per cent dust per 100 square ?ardi of bed or about four level tablespoons 6f 15 per cent wettable powder In five gallon* of witter: applied at three to Ave gallons per 100 tquare feet of bed. "Read and heed labels when using partition," says Guthrie. "The advantage of parattiion is that it kill* a Uttle quicker than DDT. DDT is the only insecticide which should be used on tobacco plant beds Just prior to pulHng the plants. Either a fit* per cent or M per cent dust of DDT (three fourths to 1* pounds per 100 aquare yards) gave good results, but tome growers report better results with the higher percent age. DDT cart be used on the plant bed aa a spray (about a half cup 90 per cent wettable powder in five gallons of water applied at three to five gallon* of spray per 100 square yard*.)
