Effective kill of the aphids can only be obtained if the eptire leaf surfaces of the plants are covered thoroughly. One application of the spray is usually sufficient to con trol aphids. However, when infes tations are very heavy, a second treatment, 3 or 4 days later may be needed. Apply on clear days when tobacoo leave* are dry. Re peat the sprayings when new in festations develop. A * weekly spray schedule may be adopted if this is more convenient, but it is usually more expensive and should not be necessary. ‘Jn many cases aphid infesta tions appear spotted over the field. For spot treatments hand operated sprayers are satisfactory. If infes tation is general over the field, a horsedrawn sprayer with a special spray boom is more practical. “Available in the countv agents office is Circular 329, which de scribes the control of the Aphid on Tobacco.
