No NW Chemical Sucker Controls For
'64; Growers Urged Use Present Ones
Tobacco growers should count
on fighting suckers this summer
■with essentially the same chemi
cals that they have had avail
able for the last several years.
Henry Marshall, a researcher
at North Carolina State, says
grower interest has been aroused
by several recent reports on new
Chemicals that are being develop
ed.
“These chemicals are still in
the experimental state,’’ Marshall
said. “None will be available
for general farmer use in 1964.”
Only one new chemical, Periar,
has been granted an experiment
al label for use at the farm
level during the summer. It will
be applied on a trial basis to a
few selected .farms under super
vision throughout the flue-cured
area.
Available chemicals will be
MH-30, a growth inhibitor, and
TSC-350 and Bayol N-350, two
forms of mineral oil emulsion.
Marshall says the challenge
for growers in 1964 is to keep
up the trend they have estab
liAed toward better and better
use of present chemicals.
Growers seem to apply the
chemicals with more concern and
more skill each year, he said.
Some growers did not get good
control of suckers last year,
how'ever, because of dry weather.
Some of these growers, Mar
shall is afraid, may be
to go to a higher rate of appli
cation this year.
“But I think this would be
wrong,” he added. “A higher
rate will not do any better than
the recommended rate in a dry
year. You just can’t get MH in
a flopped tobacco plant.”
Suggestions for using the
chemicals are the same this year

t as they were last year. One of
• the most important points for a
• grower to remember in applying
■ MH-30 is to let the tobacco fill
out in the top and mature as
■ much as possible before treat
> ing.
I Treatment should be applied
r early in the morning after ex
• cessive dew is gone from the
upper part of plant. Plants
i should not be treated when they
I are wilted from hot, dry weather
’ or from too much moisture.
Growers should not use more
. than one pint of MH-30 per 1,-
000 plants. At least 20 to 50
i gallons of water Should be used
1 pet- acre.
1 The effectiveness of MH-30
may be cut substantially if a
heavy rain occurs four to six
hours after application.
A final point that growers
| should remember is to let MH
-30 trea“ d tobacco become well
ripened oefore harvest. Up-stalk
tobacco treated with MH-30 will
usually need to stay in the field
from one to two weeks longer
than if not treated.
If a farmer plans to use one
of the oil emulsions. Marshall
says it should be applied in the
early flower stage. The emul
sion must run down into each
leaf axil since it kills suckers
by contact.
It is suggested that growers
use about one teaspoonful of
emulsion per plant. Two gallons
of emulsion mixed with an equal
amount of water will treat about
6,000 plants.
Treat in clear, warm weather.
But avoid extremely hot days or
the hottest part of the day when
the temperature is 90 degrees or
higher.
