Leaf Growers Battle Pests

Tobacco farmers have ? va

they nurse their plants through
every stage of development.
Take tobacco plantbed insects,
for example. There are flea
beetles, midge and cranefly lar
vae, vegetable weevils, aphids,
green June beetle larvae, and
cutworms.
And if these aren't enough for
the tobacco farmer to fight, he
also has mole crickets, slugs
and snails, and graashoppers
after his young plants.
By the time a farmer gets
his plants se't in the field, the
wireworms are ready to move
in, along with the cutworms,
flea beetles, budworms, vege
table weevils and grasshoppers.
The most common Insect on
larger tobacco plants is the horn
worm. But he is not alone, for
there are still flea beetles, bud
worms, aphids and grasshoppers
around. And to make life even
more complicated, large tobacco
plants also can be attacked by
suckflies, splitworms, Jspanese
beetles and cabbage loopers.
Fortunately, not every tobacco
farmer has to fight all these
insects every season. But George
