on tobacco stalk* after bar*
vest. These relatively small,
tender shoots appeal to horn
worms, both as food and egg
laying sites.
Allowing stalks to stand
encourages a late summer
build-up in hormiVorma. More
egg s are laid, producing
more larvae to feed and de
velop on the suckers, and
then burrow into the ground
to pupate through the win
ter. Finally, more adults
emerge early in the next
growing season, and a larg
er hornworm population gets
a head start on the new crap.
In 1963, ARS entomologist
W. .S. Kinard, working in co
operation with the South
Carolina Agricultural Experi
ment Station, enlisted the aid
of most of the tobacco grow
ers in a 12-mile circular area
near Florence. Many grow
ers agreed to cut their own
tobacco stalks as soon as pos
sible after final harvest.
Eaghty-seven percent of the
growers within the selected
area cooperated the first
\eai, 1963, and 94 percent
the following year. Results
of these cuttings showed up
in the 19 64 and 1965 sea
sons
Dunne: both of these years,
the scientists complied mim
beis of hoinworm eggs and
veiy small larvae on tobacco
plaut s in test plots both
within and outside the cir
culai a tea As would be ex
pected, considerably lowe r in
testations occurred in the
plots inside the circle than
outside, and the level of in
festation was the low r est
close to the center of the
cucle This difference was
even larger in 196i5 than in
1964
Results so far, although in
complete, are encouraging to
all concerned.. Growers are
so pleased that Kinard is
getting nearly 100 percent
.cooperation within the test
area- To insure complete
stalk - destruction, a custom
.operator has. been employed^
to-‘■cut the sm'all percentage
of stalks not cut by growers
Nobody is more pleasant to
do business with than the
m'au who has no intention
to pay.-
