Thrips are found in the garlic crop, which is quite microscopic. Both males and females of this kit cause damage. These insects attack the delicate parts of the plants, and as a result, the plants are not able to grow. This pest pierces the leaves by scratching and sucking all the sap from the leaf, due to which the leaves curl, the plant starts drying up, and also the bulbs of affected plants remain small.
Management: To control thrips damage, spray Tafgor (Dimethoate 30 EC) @ 264 ml or Fipnova (Fipronil 5% SC) @ 400 ml per acre in 150 to 200 litres of water.
