Onion thrips occurs throughout the country and is a pest with a wide range of host plants. To control onion thrips, first clean up the dead branches and fallen leaves thoroughly to eliminate the source of the pests. Second, water frequently to kill the nymphs and pupae in the soil. Third, once thrips appear in the field, carry out chemical spraying for control; omethoate, phoxim, fenvalerate and the like can be used. Spraying should be done in the early morning while the dew has not yet dried, to prevent the adult insects from escaping.
