The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) launched the Ontario Crop Protection Hub, an official online Crop Protection resource for all agricultural commodities produced in Ontario, tobacco included. With this online resource, OMAFRA will no longer publish printed versions of Protection Guides for all crops. For tobacco, the previous Crop Protection Guide was Publication 843 Flue-Cured Tobacco Crop Protection Guide.
The hub (online resource) for tobacco has two components: One component that contains supporting information for flue-cured tobacco, can be accessed using the link :
https:// cropprotectionhub.omafra.gov.on.ca/supporting-information/flue-cured-tobacco-supporting-information
The second component refers to flue-cured tobacco pest management and crop protection options available for flue-cured tobacco. This information can be accessed using the link.

The OMAFRA Crop Protection Hub for tobacco includes all products registered for use on tobacco in Canada. Contractors may have specific requirements regarding certain control products used on tobacco. Therefore, growers should check with their contractor as to their requirements.
