2020 journal article

Cotton thrips infestation predictor: a practical tool for predicting tobacco thrips (Frankliniella fusca) infestation of cotton seedlings in the south-eastern United States

Pest Management Science, 76(12), 4018–4028.

By: T. Chappell*, R. Ward n , K. DePolt  n, P. Roberts*, J. Greene * & G. Kennedy n 

author keywords: cotton; thrips; management; forecasting; decision support; Gossypium hirsutum; Frankliniella fusca
MeSH headings : Animals; Gossypium; Seedlings; Thysanoptera; Tobacco; United States
topics (OpenAlex): Insect-Plant Interactions and Control; Insect and Pesticide Research; Plant Virus Research Studies
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.
