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 peaked a couple of days ago (4/18). 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: We are working on a new UC ANR website for the thrips model output. In the meantime if you want to see the model projections for your region, we have made a simple site hosted on the third party web provider, Neocities. You can find the link below
