- Intervention effect Imidacloprid drenches outperformed lambda-cyhalothrin for thrips control.
- Intervention effect A acetamiprid spray outperformed lambda-cyhalothrin for thrips control.
- Intervention effect A dimethoate spray outperformed lambda-cyhalothrin for thrips control.
- Intervention effect A spinosad spray outperformed lambda-cyhalothrin for thrips control.
- Intervention effect A imidacloprid spray outperformed lambda-cyhalothrin for thrips control.
- Observation Neither dimethoate nor acetamiprid had a reliable crop stage for control.
- Intervention effect An imidacloprid soil drench reduced damaged head leaves by 32%.
- Intervention effect Five acetamiprid sprays reduced damage by 51%.
- Observation The combined program was very costly.
- Observation Cabbage varieties differed in thrips susceptibility; some had negligible injury regardless of insecticide.
- Association Planting date affected cabbage susceptibility to some degree.
- Recommendation The authors recommend resistant cabbage breeding as the foundation of thrips management.
