Southern cotton seedling thrips species composition locations
Aims

Understanding thrips species composition during cotton establishment in the southern cotton production region is important in accessing the validity of the cotton industry thrips spray thresholds and recommendations

Key messages
  • Onion thrips were the dominant thrips species observed during monitoring.
  • Western flower thrips constituted less than 5% of thrips monitored.
  • During early cotton establishment there were more tomato thrips larvae than onion thrips larvae. By December, onion thrips larval numbers exceeded tomato thrips larval numbers.
