Abstract
Western flower thrips is a very important pest which, due to fast resistance development, presents a problem in vegetable production, especially in tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. During 2018, western flower thrips populations were collected from cucumber and pepper plants at seven locations in three counties. They were tested according to standardized insecticide susceptibility tests. All tested populations were resistant on active ingredients lambda-cyhalotrin and thiamethoxam and five populations were resistant on active ingredient spinosad. The only successful control of western flower thrips can be achieved within integrated production and integrated control of vegetable crops.
