Hello. This is the first update for 2019 for the UC western flower thrips/tswv outlook for processing tomato. General outlook As a reminder, the base temperature we use for estimating thrips development is 45F.
General situation It has been an up and down start to the year for thrips development. Through February the relatively dry winter, and somewhat warm start to the year in the San Joaquin Valley meant we were running ahead of the 30 year average for degree day accumulation.
