Abstract

Studies conducted on the control of the red rust thrips, Chaetanophothrips orchidii (Moulton) on Giant Cavendish bananas in the Aguan Valley or Honduras indicated that excellent control was obtained with two applications of 1 quart per acre of dieldrin emulsifiable concentrate (1.5 lbs. active in gradient per gallon) 14 days apart, incorporated in the normal helicopter applications of spray oil used for leaf spot control. This control lasted at least 7 months and produced no noticeable Adverse side effects. Studies on the relationship between numbers or thrips and incidence of red rust on near-harvest fruit indicated that u population of approximately one thrips for every two lingers or bananas was associated with a 50% incidence of red rust.
