Title

A systems approach to mitigate pest risk for market access of cut flowers exported from Hawaii

Kyeongnam Kim; Dominique Zarders; Eric Tanouye; et al. Journal of Economic Entomology 2026. doi:10.1093/jee/toaf284

Other claims from this paper (8)

Observation Records showed 582 cut flower interceptions from 92 Hawaiian growers and shippers.
Observation Cut orchid flowers were rejected primarily for thrips.
Intervention effect Individual treatments did not completely disinfest ginger.
Intervention effect Individual treatments did not completely disinfest heliconia.
Intervention effect Combined treatment yielded zero detectable infestation over eight harvests in ginger and heliconia.
Intervention effect Preharvest insecticide treatment left 30% of Dendrobium flowers infested with thrips.
Intervention effect Preharvest insecticide treatment left 70% of Dendrobium flower sprays infested with thrips.
Recommendation The authors identify a need for better thrips management and possible postharvest fumigation for Dendrobium.
