April 30, 2007 ISSUE 1164 THRIPS RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT MEETINGS SCHEDULED Certain areas of Florida have experienced tremendous increases in thrips, one of the most damaging pest species affecting fruiting vegetables and other crop production. Because of the extraordinarily high numbers of thrips, Dow AgroSciences has planned two free thrips management meetings, which all fruiting vegetable growers in Southeast Florida are encouraged to attend. The meetings will be May 1 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Boynton Beach Holiday Inn on North Congress Avenue, and May 2 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at the Capri on Krome Avenue in Homestead.
