Research: Developing components of IPM for Twospotted Spider Mite on greenhouse floricultural crops

My first objective is to compare a pest management option developed by the team with two other commercially recommended options in terms of efficacy and cost. My second objective is to determine the effect of a thrips-controlling chemical on the long-term populations of twospotted spider mite and the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis.
