Harvest is now well underway and despite high numbers of thrips TSWV incidence remains low across the region. Only late-planted crops are now at risk from serious yield loss from TSWV. Yield loss is worst when plants are infected before fruit set. If any crops are still pre-set they should be considered as priorities when considering insecticide application over the next couple of weeks. Generation 5 of the thrips is expected to reach peak hatch in the next day or so and generation 6 will peak on August 12th.
