Below are some articles and presentations relating to the use of mass trapping with sticky cards/tape to help reduce thrips. Our research has shown that adding this simple and cost-effective tool into your program can reduce thrips populations from 17-30%. This can help you achieve more successful thrips control with standard biocontrol programs.
