I planted tobacco beside the pepper . . make use of empty planting hole. . does anyone know pesticides that can kill (mites, tryps and fleas) without affecting the smell of tobacco. . ?

Imidacloprid is safe to use with tobacco. It is mixed with water, then poured at the base of each plant. Imidacloprid has no impact on the taste. (This systemic insecticide should not be used on fruiting plants, such as peppers, since it will kill pollinating insects. The imidacloprid is gone in the tobacco by the time it blossoms.)

for pepper I use methomyl and abamectin, is this safe for tobacco. . ?
In addition, I spray fungicides on pepper such as mancozeb, and tebuconazole mix azocistrobin,
but i observed that tebuconazole and azocistrobin have a greening effect when exposed to tobacco leaves,can it affect the taste of the tobacco? because the leaf maturity is delayed

I am unable to answer your questions about those assorted chemicals.

I grow tomatoes in a wire cage adjacent to my tobacco, always wrap plastic sheet around these tomato plants when applying anything to the tobacco. Don't want to risk anything I eat !
I have noticed that even though hornworms, aphids, budworms, etc. are greatly attracted to tobacco, so much so, that the tomatoes are totally untouched.

That's whatcha call a trap crop, a sacrificial plant usually on parameters of growing space intended to be more attractive to the pests than the crop you are growing that you hope to defend...

I would imagine conjunction with the pepper crop, tobacco would also provide the shade that peppers want during the hours the sun is low in sky which can manage to cause sunburn on the peppers that are otherwise protected by their own plant canopies during midday..

I know this is an old thread but I have to ask Agil Wintoko, do you really have that much trouble with fungal infections that those fungicides are necessary? I'm not an 100% organic grower by any means but fungicides are some of the gnarliest agricultural chemicals out there I'd rather lose a good chunk of a crop to fungi than have to eat or smoke anything that I know has been sprayed with fungicides.
