Welcome to the UC Davis Western Flower Thrips generation time projections for the Fresno area for 2015. The phenology clock is telling us that overwintering adults are present at this time. Thrips degree-day accumulations are running slightly ahead of the 30 year average so far this year and we're projecting the peak dates for the first two post-winter adult generations at March 26th and May 5th. Generally, TSWV doesn't begin to increase until the third and fourth generations of thrips are present. We'll be posting regular updates on the situation from now on.
