This experiment measures the species composition throughout the MidSouth at 17 different locations.  It keeps up with tobacco thrips, soybean thrips, western flower thrips, and onion thrips.  Different treatments were used on seedling cotton and measures of thrips numbers were taken from these treatments.  It measures of thrips species abundance as well but the four I mentioned were the most of importance.
