  6. Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry for the use of Pirate on cotton to control the beet armyworms and tobacco budworms; April 15, 1996, to September 30, 1996. A notice published in the Federal Register of March 20, 1996 (61 FR 11413). The situation was urgent and nonroutine. There are no chemical alternative methods of beet armyworm or tobacco budworm control that can be used in Louisiana. Pirate has shown to be the most effective conventional alternative against resistant tobacco budworm. The combination of tebufenozide and Pirate is environmentally the most acceptable combination available against beet armyworms. (Margarita Collantes)
