The boom was 20 inches high with 5 nozzles spaced 20 inches treated plots had significantly fewer thrips than the untreated check apart, applying spray at 30 gpa. Plots were assessed nine days after but were not as effective as Radiant. Warrior showed no significant application for pesticide efficacy. Adult and immature thrips were difference from the untreated check (Table 1).
