The main review purpose this paper provides updated information on the effect of different transplanting dates on the infestation of tobacco insect pets were carried out at different areas by different investigators. The results different trials conducted in different agro ecological zone revealed that the damage was higher and yield decrease were recorded in late transplanted tobacco and the damage was gradually yield increase in early transplanted tobacco in season. Several species of insects cause serious damage to tobacco in the field, the greenhouse and in storage. Insects damage the roots, destroy the leaves and buds and reduce leaf quality. Others transmit several important tobacco disease pathogens. Management systems for flue cured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) insect pest involving variations in different planting date were compared to evaluate their influence on insect pests’ damage, yield and quality of flue cured tobacco. The results indicated that early transplanted significantly increase leaf yield, growth parameters and decrease insect pest damage incidence. The study indicated that transplanted has pronounced positive effect on management of tobacco insect pests and growth of tobacco.
