Potential Implications of Thrips Control for Nematode Management

Steven M. Brown, Phillip M. Roberts, and Robert C. Kemerait. University of Georgia, PO Box 748, 4604 Research Way, Tifton, GA 31793

We report on a thrips/nematode control study in which we have various seed treatments as well as aldicarb with/without foliar sprays of acephate for early season thrips control.  We measured the effects of thrips injury on root growth and suggest the possible interaction with nematicide treatments.
