Thrips... The bane of many a farmer's existence. I have a serious thrips infestation on my feverfew and that is how I got sucked into this "thrips" rabbit hole. Upon posting on Instagram, there was a tremendous amount of interest in hearing more, so here is a summary of my findings. Please note that the topic of thrips is very complex. People do PHDs on this and companies spend millions of dollars figuring out how to battle thrips. There's alot more to unpack but this should be a good starting point for anyone who needs a 101.
PS- "thrips" is both singular and plural. I am still getting used to the "s" for the singular form and slip up a few times!

we breed showy flowers, which also incidentally tends to breed out natural pest defenses. but in any case, there's a lot of misinformation spread that being fully organic fixes entire problem. thank you for an informative video.

For sure, it drives me nuts that people think spraying neem oil is always the solution! And good point about the showy flowers. I’m definitely incorporating more tiny open faced/spray flowers into my field space to attract beneficials 😊

This video is very enlightening, thanks for all the info. I live in a city so the only thing that eats my plants are thrips. What I do, is to have plants that attract them, like lavander and an ipomea. Doing this ensures my other plants are not infested during the summer. I do use Neem oil and it works, but only early in the season. I think there is a way to get rid of them, by vacuuming a little bit around the plants. You shake them and vacuum meanwhile (but I don't have a vacuum). I think air is used in some closed places, like very big green houses, in order to suck all the plagues. At least for this this works, but not for others :)

This is very interesting because I am trying to figure out what I do with my infested row of feverfew. I am still leaning on taking them down so that they don't reproduce and if they do, I will still have snaps. My biggest fear is that they somehow make it to my dahlias and lisianthus which are much higher value crops. To your point, I think neem works early in the season because you don't have a huge outbreak just yet so you can "manage" the situation. I've even heard of greenhouses heating themselves up to over 100F to get rid of these suckers. All stuff we cannot replicate outside lol!

Now I know what those bugs are crawling on the gardenia flowers! I called them gardenia bugs 😂 here in coastal SC, it may be too humid to see them show up on later plants,but I’m going to check my snaps, some seemed very wilted like they need extra water. Maybe it’s thrips? Thanks for the info you are so cute with your lab coat on.
@bareflowerfarm
@bareflowerfarm Год назад
Lol! Gardenia bugs! That's funny. The wilting is more likely due to the snaps needing water. I have yet to see snaps wilt because of thrips, in fact I have yet to see discoloration on the leaves. But hopefully you DON'T have thrips and it's just a water issue because at least they can recover and you can use the stems!

Great video. I interplant a lot and do have many beneficials. My main pests are earwigs and slugs because I mulch heavily. Beer traps help. I also got a tiny black beetle on my white roses but it seems to have gone away. Holding breath for the inevitable thrips. Hoping you get many helpful comments as well

Hopefully you DON'T have thrips!! Or least not a big infestation. I also mulch heavily but that is the one advantage of how dry it's been... minimal slugs! Glad to hear the white roses have recovered from whatever black beetle was on there!

Since they love warm weather would you be able to pick flowers that had thrips and place them in a cooler for a couple of days and rid the flower of thrips? would the cold air kill them?
@bareflowerfarm
@bareflowerfarm 7 месяцев назад
They do love the warm weather but can still survive in the freezing temps! To kill them with the cold, you would unfortunately kill the blooms in the process too :(

We’ve been schooled by Prof Jesse 👏 For part 2, cause I know you’re going to don that coat again 😁, i have a question - I keep seeing posts that say that “if you have good soil” then you won’t have insect or thrip damage. Is that just a shaming technique or does it hold weight?
@bareflowerfarm
@bareflowerfarm Год назад
Soo, I'm going to say that good soil health definitely helps keep diseases and pests at bay, especially in the beginning of the season. But it's like with humans. We can do our best to eat healthy and workout, but we will ultimately all die- either from disease or from old age. Hopefully this analogy makes sense! I don't think people mean to shame others with this. I feel like in flower farming especially, there aren't alot of big growers who are doing this at a big enough scale and sharing results. So when one person starts talking about healthy soil and BRIX, people talk about it theoretically without "testing" it out themselves. Alot of stuff is still in its infancy if you get what I mean! One thing to note though- good soil and a good ecosystem can help you better manage disease and pests but it won't eliminate it all together. In any healthy system, pests MUST exist as a food source. You'll know you have a healthy system if you see pests but then beneficials a few weeks later coming to help take care of the problem. Last thing- I own a refractometer and higher BRIX does indeed create more delicious fruit so it's not that the BRIX stuff doesn't hold weight but I think it's unrealistic to think that you can escape completely pest free!

Could thrips come from the seed itself? I understand pathogen can pass from the seed how about if the seed came from a plant infested with thrips?
@bareflowerfarm
@bareflowerfarm 5 месяцев назад
They wouldn't come from the seed but gladious thrips will overwinter on the bulb and that is often a common way of transmitting them.

Gah, I hadn’t even looked for them on my feverfew! Sure enough. 😢 But weirdly, now I’m not seeing them on my snapdragons. They were on the ones I harvested last night. I did dunk in soapy water and did a careful inspection after, but yeah, it doesn’t seem like a great solution long-term.
@bareflowerfarm
@bareflowerfarm Год назад
Nooooo! Honestly, I don't even know why I looked so closely one day. It's so easy to miss! As an experiment, I dunked a bunch in soapy water today. Still thrippy. It's so time consuming that at this point, for me, it's just not worth the time and the potential negative reaction a customer could have. And personally, I wouldn't want flowers with thrips in my house :(

Ladybugs…soon after they come out of dormancy and “wake up” they fly away. It’s just what they do. It’s how they’re designed. That’s why people who buy them and release them in their garden experience a 95% to 98% rate of “their” ladybugs flying away.
