Thrips are a serious pest of cabbage in
the Northeast. Their feeding causes small,
silvery areas with black specks on the frame
leaves, and bronze, rough areas on and in
the head. Thrips feeding and presence on
cabbage presents a cosmetic and contamination
problem rather than a reduction in yield.
However, excessive amounts of damage on
or in the heads may make them unmarketable.
Thrips damage on a green leaf is more subtle
than on the inner white leaves of the head.
Excessive amounts of the latter type of
damage may make the heads unacceptable for
fresh market and processing cabbage. |
