Damage caused by banana flower thrips:
Banana flower thrips are extremely small, only about 0.5 mm, occur year-round, can fly and jump. After the bud emerges but before the bracts open, thrips have already bored inside the bracts. The damage to the fruit is mainly through laying eggs on it, causing proliferation of the peel tissue, suberization, and later raised small black spots, affecting the fruit's appearance, purchase price and storability.
Control methods for banana flower thrips:
Spray insecticides when the banana is budding, such as Lorsban at 1000 times, and Gaoxiaodagongchen at 2000 times solution. Spray 1-2 more times at the middle stage of budding and at de-budding.
