My tobacco plants are getting eating by some type of hornworm of catepillar. What type of pesticide is ok to spray on the plants and won' thurt the end user smoking the leaves? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
I used Thuricide(? sp) this year, it's a BT type pesticide. It's a soil bacterial toxin, it's pretty safe. I used it every three days, be sure to spray the growth bud well, we've got loopers here that will really mess things up. You can get it at home improvement stores, bring your glasses and read the bottle to make sure it's good (bad) for hornworms.
How long does Thuricide last for, once sprayed?

it will kill. for about 3 days,
but if you spray it right, it will kill. your entire infestation in one application,
but the hornworm moth is visiting your crop each night, and laying eggs,
so as stated spray every 4 days, and you'll be fine.
and they are beneficial incests,
