author keywords: cotton; thrips; management; forecasting; decision support; Gossypium hirsutum; Frankliniella fusca
MeSH headings : Animals; Gossypium; Seedlings; Thysanoptera; Tobacco; United States
TL;DR:
A composite model of thrips phenology and cotton seedling susceptibility is empirically developed to predict site-specific infestation risk so that monitoring and other resources can be allocated efficiently, and to inform stakeholders about the dynamics of thriPS infestation andotton seedling injury at a time when thrips are evolving resistance to commonly-used pesticides.
