Tobacco Juice Pest Control - Guide

[WEEDOSHI]

I have also read that tobacco is toxic to cannabis and therefore I do not recommend anyone to use it.It even said to not even touch your plants if you smoke cigs before you wash your hands.I will try and see if I can find the article on it,but it was a few years back so it might take awhile.Until someone finds a written article on it lets all cool down or I will suggest that the thread be closed temporarily.

Tobacco in its burnt form is (a lot more) toxic. Most chemicals and other things that get burned normally become more toxic or toxic. Highly doubt tobacco juice is "toxic" to plants as many have used it successfully without any real issues, even i have.

What you might be referring to is tobacco smoke, it is indeed toxic to cannabis plants and most plants in general. I remember a while ago when i was smoking a cig and blew some of the smoke into a few tomato cuttings, the next day 3/4 of the cuttings turned black and started rotting (all within 24 hours!!).

i sit in my flowering rooms for hours drinking beer and smoking cigs , never had any issue ,not to say its good or safe to do , just that its not ever been an issue in my rooms

healthy debate is good for us all and this thread can serve good purpose

peace

I never wash my hands either Bob when I smoke cigs.And Chad if you can find a written article on your procedure or more info on the affects if any of tobacco on cannabis we will put this to rest once and for all.

Bob,do you gargle after sex or do you just smoke a cig?"Ha ha ha ha ha.."

TMV Infection

Tobacco mosaic virus is very stable, so stable that it can survive for years in cigars and cigarettes made from infected leaves. The viral RNA is infectious by itself, but the addition of a protein coat protects the RNA from enzymes that would destroy it. The protein coat poses a problem, however: it must be removed once the virus gets inside a cell. TMV uses two tricks to release its RNA. As with many viruses, TMV has a chemical switch that causes the protein to change when the environment changes. The capsid protein has several clusters of acidic amino acids that are stable outside of cells, where calcium levels are high, but repel one another in the low-calcium conditions inside cells. This is enough to loosen the first few capsid proteins, releasing the end of the RNA. TMV then uses ribosomes as the engines to finish the job. As the ribosomes move down the strand, creating the first set of virus proteins, they displace the remaining capsid proteins.

Here is an article from the Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences:

The most important way that TMV can be spread from plant to plant is on workers' hands, clothing or on tools. This is called 'mechanical' transmission. When plants are handled, the tiny leaf hairs and some of the outer cells inevitably are damaged slightly and leak sap onto tools, hands, and clothing. If the sap contains TMV, it can be introduced into other plants when those come in contact with this sap. Sucking insects such as aphids do not spread TMV. Chewing insects such as grasshoppers and caterpillars occasionally spread the virus but are usually not important in spread. Vegetative propagation perpetuates TMV and other virus diseases. Cuttings taken from an infected plant usually are infected even if no symptoms are immediately exhibited by the cutting. The virus particles are found in all parts of the plant except the few cells at the tips of the growing points. Infected stock plants should be discarded immediately.

Tobacco products, particularly those containing air-cured tobacco, may carry TMV. Flue-cured tobacco, used in making cigarettes, is heated repeatedly during its processing, thereby inactivating most if not all TMV. When tobacco products are handled or kept in pockets, hands and clothing can become contaminated with TMV and be a source of virus. TMV is NOT spread in the smoke of burning tobacco.

Managing TMV
No chemicals cure a virus-infected plant.

Purchase virus-free plants.
Remove all weeds since these may harbor TMV.
Remove all crop debris from benches and the greenhouse structure.
Set aside plants with the above symptoms and obtain a diagnosis.
Discard infected plants.
Disinfest tools by placing them in disinfectant for at least 10 min. Rinse thoroughly with tap water. Disinfest door handles and other greenhouse structures that may have become contaminated by wiping thoroughly with one of these materials.
Propagate plants via seed rather than vegetatively.
Thoroughly wash hands after handling tobacco products or TMV-infected plants.
Do not keep tobacco products in the pockets of clothing worn into the greenhouse. Launder greenhouse work clothes regularly.

Here is an article from the Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences:

Very interesting read, I've read a few of those articles prior to posting the thread actually. Very nice contribution. Ty.

Post regarding effectiveness of Tobacco on agriculture: Is pesticide obtained from tobacco leaves more harmful than synthetic pesticides like DDT, BHC, etc.?

Tobacco as acute toxicity is highly toxic, but is Natural product, therefore it is degraded very quickly, it’s recommended for organic agriculture

As suggested by other people, I also thinks that it is biological safe as compared to other pesticides. As far as nicotine is concerned, Tea and coffee also contain some amont of nicotine and people r using it. If some amount of nicotine remains in ur synthesized biological pesticide, that will nt harm or may b it can be degraded by plant (after getting converted into metabolites) or soil microbes. moreover, I have seen village people using tea leaves remains ( after using in preparation of tea) as pesticides/fertilizer.

NICOTINE

Nicotine, derived from tobacco species, is one of the most toxic substances sold for use in the garden. It is extremely fast-acting, causing sever disruption and failure of the nervous system. In its pure form, Nicotine is easily absorbed through the eyes, skin and mucous membranes, and is very dangerous. If eaten, it is only slightly less hazardous.
Nicotine is used in greenhouses as a fumigant and in gardens as a contact poison to control soft-bodied sucking insects such as aphids, thrips and mites. It is effective on young scales and squash bugs, leafhoppers, pear psyllids, mealybugs, leaf miners, lace bugs and larvae of asparagus beetle and fungus gnat.
For any gardener, Nicotine Sulfate must be a weapon of last resort. Yet there are at least two characteristics to be counted in its favor:
First, no insect has ever developed an immunity to this poison.
Secondly, Nicotine sulfate biodegrades rapidly and has little residual effect.
For best results, add four teaspoons of horticultural spray oil per gallon of diluted Nicotine Sulfate. Keep your body and limbs covered, and wear protective gloves, goggles and mask when applying this product.
