Don't worry. You can adopt the following methods to manage the thrips. There are two ways to manage thrips
First is, you have to spray chemicals, either Imidacloprid or Reagent @5ml/lit with a freqency of once in 5 days, if the leaf curl is clearing dont spray the chemical.But these chemicals are hazardous to other organisms too. So I suggest another methods other than chemicals
* Here are the Steps for the Preparation of the Bio-pesticides
- Take cow urine + cow dung in 3:1 ratio
- This mixture should be kept for 2 months in a container with open mouth
- You can spray this mixture diluting five times with water
If you adopt some simple agronomic practices then you can minimise the infection in your field.
