9. Dark Tobacco Research Update
10. Current Dark Tobacco Research Experimental pesticide screening trials:
Insecticides:
Coragen (rynaxypyr, DuPont)
Residual worm control
Foliar and setter water applications
Registration expected by 2010
Rimon (novaluron, Chemtura)
Insect growth regulator, worm control
Brigadier (prepack mixture of Capture/Admire, FMC)
Worm and aphid control, foliar and setter water
Generic formulations of Admire (imidicloprid)
Alias 4F
11. Current Dark Tobacco Research Experimental pesticide screening trials:
Fungicides:
Revus (mandipropamid, Syngenta)
Blue mold control in burley
Herbicides:
Spartan Charge (Spartan + Aim, FMC)
Performance in strip-till tobacco
Spartan + Command prepackaged mixtures (1 jug)
Re-evaluation of old Command Pro product
12. Current Dark Tobacco Research Dark Fire-Curing:
Influence of microbial growth from dirt on harvested tobacco on TSNA development
Influence of wet tobacco at harvest on TSNA development
Alternative fire-curing methods and fuel sources
