Abstract

The potato tuberworm, Phthorimaea operculella, is an occasional pest to tobacco plants in southern regions of Korea. In order to screen effective pesticides against the worm in tobacco leaves, pot and field experiments were carried out in 1981. In the pot experiment with a tobacco variety, Hicks, several effective organic phosphates (Dimecron- LQ 50, Dursban-WP 25, Ekalux-EC 25. Elsan-EC 47.5, and EPN-EC 45), out of 9 Pesticides tested, were solecte4 from their high mortality of more than 90%. Among these Pesticides Ekalux- EC 25 and Elsan- EC 47.5 were recommended to tobacco growers from their excellent efficacy in the field experiment with a tobacco variety, Burley 21.
