Dealing with Thrips in Our Sweet Pepper Crop | Pest Management & Lessons Learned

In this video, we share our journey of managing a Thrips infestation in a sweet pepper crop in a shadehouse at Kimberley. We start by providing some background on our crop and how we successfully grew it up to the point when we noticed the pest problem. We then introduce what Thrips are and discuss some of the factors that contributed to their outbreak—highlighting what we did, or didn't do, that allowed the infestation to escalate. Next, we dive into the strategies we employed to fight back against the Thrips and save our crop. Finally, we review the current condition of our sweet peppers, showcase their progress, and reveal the final decision we made—whether to continue with the crop or to move on. Join us for an honest look at pest management in the field, lessons learned along the way, and tips for fellow growers facing similar challenges!
