Hi, again! Just wanted to follow up from our call this morning. If you could provide me with a list of pesticides approved for tobacco crops it would be much appreciated.
Have a great 4th!

This is very helpful. Thank you! I just tried to call, but I think you might be on the other line. Could you give me a call when you have a chance?
Thanks, Cassie Shirk

j A nonfood use pesticide is a product that is permitted solely for use in pesticide applications to nonfood use j sites. Examples of nonfood use sites include highway rights-of way, forestry, sewage lines, and ornamental ! plants.
