Abstract

Flower thrips tend to form areas of high population, termed ‘hot spots,’ in blueberry plantings. This study provided evidence that thrips density may be correlated with flower density in space. Further understanding of the relationship between flower density and thrips numbers could lead to better scouting and management programs.
