I don't know where the thrips are coming from but they just keep showing up on my plants. I just had to pull my only Earl's Faux because of TSWV. Two down and about 100 more to go. So far the virus is way behind the destruction caused by fusarium wilt and I hope it stays that way. I fear from the number of thrips I have seen this year that my loses could be even worse than last year which was the worst for TSWV I have experienced. I check the plants daily for thrips and for most of the last month they have been in abundance.
