Thrips found on plot Ysselsteyn

Thrips were found and controlled on the plot in Ysselsteyn last week. The grower has sprayed with Batavia to combat the thrips.

It had been years since the grower from Ysselsteyn last sprayed against thrips. He himself had observed thrips on the plot. "I'm going to irrigate, hopefully that will help against the thrips. If the thrips are still present when I go to see the plot with an advisor, I'll spray again," the grower said last week. Boerenbusiness know. 

The grower has now sprayed Batavia against thrips. While viewing the plot with the advisor, thrips were spotted and it was considered common sense to fight the thrips. 'I hope that the thrips will drown and that they will not survive by means of irrigation, but too many thrips have survived and I have decided against thrips. We hope to be able to stop it with irrigation, even if that is actually impossible'. Tells the grower Boerenbusiness.
