Abstract
Commercial tobacco dusts vary greatly in nicotine content and physical properties, the finer dusts killing a larger percentage of the spirea aphis, the currant aphis and the apple red bug. Rosy aphis was combated effectively with either nicotine sulphate or tobacco dust in lime sulphur and glue sulphur sprays. Considerable trouble was encountered with certain types of spraying machines from clogging of the nozzles and strainers. Pumps with poppet valves and rather coarse strainers gave less trouble. Fine tobacco dust undiluted or with 10 percent of lime hydrate showed marked toxicity. The insecticidal properties of tobacco dust, on an average were not uniformly as high as that of dust mixtures containing nicotine sulphate. The concentrated tobacco solution5 are apparently more economical than powdered tobacco.
