To find more IPM-compatible options, we evaluated for a second season under field conditions, four new-generation insecticides that are either specialised against sap-sucking insects or known to have thrips control potential. In 2015–16 we added an additional three insecticides to the experiment
• Thrips density can be highly variable within a field.
• Onion thrips (Thrips tabaci) was the most abundant species.
• Conclusions on the efficacy of the tested insecticides could not be made from this season’s data.
