What are organic controls for hornworms on tomato plants?
Bacillus thuringiensis is the main organic control for hornworms [Manduca sexta and M. quinquemaculata] on tomato plants. It's effective. But it's important to make sure that it indeed controls the greatest numbers of hornworms.Specifically, hornworms are feisty defoliators. They know when they're most vulnerable, during the day and on leaf tops. So it's important to check the plant for the defoliating caterpillars quite late in the day. During daylight hours, they often chew in less visible places. Towards darkness, they're more likely to be found where they can be seen more easily, such as on leaf tips.
