- Observation Frankliniella fusca comprised 90 to 98% of thrips at test sites.
- Observation ELISA identified 1.9 to 4.6% of collected thrips as TSWV vectors.
- Recommendation The authors identify imidacloprid, thiamethoxan, acibenzolar-S-methyl and acephate as options to reduce TSWV-linked losses.
