Feeding on cell juice, thrips inflict a huge number of pricks and wounds on the grape plant, thereby impairing the growth and development of the vegetative mass.
Thrips cause delayed and poor growth of shoots, decreased yield, and reduced sugar content of berry juice.
.
These are small insects, 0.6-2 mm long, with a narrow, elongated body, black-brown or dark-brown in color, with three pairs of legs.
Thrips larvae are wingless, and adult individuals have four narrow wings bordered with long hairs.
The presence of bubbles on their legs allows them to move on any smooth surface. Over the summer, the pest produces 3-5 generations.
Regular inspection of the grape bushes and rooting cuttings will help to identify the pest in time.
One or two times, with an interval of 7-10 days, spraying with an organophosphorus preparation, for example, Karbofos, BI-58, Aktara will solve the problem.
