Biology, Management, and Resistance Monitoring of Avocado Thrips and Persea Mite

  • May 08, 2013

Our research is aimed at assisting with effective management of avocado thrips and persea mite. We will study how to use available pesticides most effectively, will search for new control materials, hopefully with different modes of action from available materials to reduce the potential for pesticide resistance development, and will evaluate alternative methods of pesticide application and timing of treatments.

Biology and Chemical Control of Avocado Thrips; Pesticide Resistance Monitoring with Avocado Thrips and Persea Mite 2004

  • May 08, 2013

As fast as possible, we hope to continue to suggest solutions to the avocado thrips problem based on sound scientific research. We will determine how to use available insecticides most effectively, will search for new control materials, hopefully with different modes of action to reduce the potential for pesticide resistance development, and will evaluate alternative methods of pesticide application and timings of treatments.
