Tobacco is one of the crops that no longer has label clearance for the use of Dithane and Manzate products. Existing farmer stocks can be used on tobacco, but you will not be able to buy materials that have clearance for tobacco. For most growers, this means Ridomil is the only labeled material to control blue mold in tobacco. Ridomil is cleared for use as a pieplant treatment (2 quarts per acre) and as a lay-by treatment (1 quart per acre) if at least 1 quart was applied preplant. It is not cleared for application to the tobacco plant after the last cultivation. Since we now have no labeled materials to control blue mold later in the season, we recommend ail growers use Ridomil. Although Ridomil is expen sive, blue mold disease can quckly cause losses that will greatly exceed the cost of Ridomil.
