General background: We are a little slow getting off the mark with our updates this year. The UC ANR web platform was changed in the last month and we're having some issues migrating the old website and blogs over to the new platform. In the meantime we're using this web hosting platform.
Thrips development: The first post winter generation adults peaked around the end of March. Peak egg hatch for generation 2 probably almost a week ago (4/16). Generation 2 adults will peak in the first week of May. Unless there is evidence of TSWV attacking crops this early, it is unlikely that treatment for thrips will be useful at this time.
Model output: While we work on a new UC ANR website for the thrips model, we've made a simple interface hosted on the third-part web provider Neocities. If you want to see the model output for your region, you can follow the link below.
