Ongoing Citrus Thrips Insecticide Trials

May 4, 2016

Dr. Grafton-Cardwell's research at Lindcove Research and Extension Center continues to look at the best use of Delegate, Sivanto, Movento, Exirel, Sevin and a number of unregistered insecticides for citrus thrips control. Technicians Sara Scott and Joshua Reger are using dual wands to hand spray trees.  Results of this research will be available at the end of the summer when they evaluate the scarring of the fruit.
