In this manual, Post-harvest Tobacco Infestation Control, we have
addressed the 'state-of-the-art' and given little account of
obsolete techniques. With contributing authors from international
cigarette manufacturers, plus consultation with the worldwide
tobacco industry, we have recorded the acceptable methodology for
infestation management. This manual fills a void, as the most
recent treatment of this subject was more than 20 years 350 ago.
Major emphasis is on sanitation which should, where possible,
reduce or replace pesticide use at all stages of tobacco
processing. This manual is divided into an introduction and
chapters dealing with: biology, monitoring, sanitation, physical
control and insecticides - with separate chapters on insect growth
regulators and fumigation. At the end, a few case histories are
outlined to show how this integrated approach to infestation
control is put into practice. Comments from users of this manual
regarding general usefulness, omissions and/or corrections are
welcome and should be addressed to CORESTA, the infestation control
subgroup of the Phytopathology group. Introduction 1 Tobacco is
vulnerable to many insect pests while growing in the 13 357 field.
4. 3 * Farmers may use pesticides to help control some insects and
avoid losing up to 40% of the growing crop. Two insects, the
cigarette beetle (Lasioderma serricorne) and the tobacco moth
(Ephestia elutella), feed on cured tobacco leaves, whether
air-cured burley, sun-cured oriental, flue-cured or tobacco
by-products (Chapter 2).
