Thrips Control Helps Root Development

摘要

Rapid, early season root growth is critical to the health of a young cotton plant. A vigorously growing root system means the plant is more likely to withstand nematode damage and reach a stage where seedling diseases have less impact more quickly. Reducing thrips injury to the foliar part of the plant is necessary to promote maximum root growth. Overall, researchers say producers should keep in mind that what is happening above ground is happening below ground.
