Webinar: Thrips Control

*Please note, this webinar was held on 8th December 2022, however, the slides are available to watch further down the page and via our Learning Hub.

Thrips are one of the most common pest issues growers of a range of crops face. These cryptic pests cause damage as both larvae and adults piercing the leaf surface and sucking out cell contents causing extensive 'silvering' and fruit damage. Some thrips can also transmit many viruses to crops.

In 2022 our agronomists have seen thrips becoming a greater issue for growers as warmer temperatures have led to increased pressure from different species that are not effectively controlled by a WFT programme.

Watch as our experts discuss the importance of cultural and hygiene controls, what biological controls to use, how to get the best out of them and how to integrate biopesticides into a thrips control programme.
