Effect of Planting Date and Timing of Growth Stages on Damage to Cabbage by Onion Thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)
TL;DR: The same cabbage varieties remain resistant or susceptible to damage by the onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman, regardless of changes in planting date or synchronization of other growth stages, and delaying planting from 6 June or 18 June to 2 July significantly reduced damage ratings for susceptible varieties and depth of thrips damage.

R. C. North,Anthony M. Shelton +1 more
TL;DR: Winter wheat, oats, and alfalfa were the best oviposition and reproduction hosts for Thrips tabaci adults and females, and these overwintering females are capable of ovipositing on these plants during the spring.
Resistance to Bt Toxins
TL;DR: Although the general concerns about pest resistance to transgenic crops discussed by F. Huang et al. (1999) are shared, reconsideration of several aspects of their report are reconsidered.

TL;DR: This is the first confirmation of C. nasturtii in the United States, which is believed to have been made possible by the combined use of pheromone traps, morphological characters of trapped adults, and molecular methods.
