CONTROL OPTIONS FOR THRIPS IN SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS 2003

摘要

RESEARCH PROBLEM - In-furrow treatments such as aldicarb (Temik) continue to be standards for thrips control in southeast Arkansas. The widespread use of Temik is due to its effectiveness in suppressing nematodes as well as thrips populations. Seed treatments, such as thiamethoxam (Cruiser), imidacloprid (Gaucho), and acephate (Orthene), along with foliar materials, offer valuable options for thrips control. Some treatments may be used in combination to offer the most effective control of thrips. Research must continue to evaluate control offered by new and existing compounds.
