Tobacco thrips are one of the most important pests in mid-South cotton production. Thrips are a pest of seedling cotton, feeding on the leaf tissue of plants which can result in stunted growth, delayed fruiting, loss of apical dominance, and possible stand loss. Field studies were conducted in 2021 and 2022 to evaluate ThryvOn, a new transgenic trait in cotton that produces the Bt toxin Cry51Aa, for control of tobacco thrips. ThryvOn cotton was tested at three Arkansas locations, Marianna, Tillar, and Keiser. The trials evaluated thrips control on ThryvOn vs. non-ThryvOn cotton and the effect of insecticide seed treatments on ThryvOn cotton. ThryvOn cotton had significantly fewer thrips and less injury than non-ThryvOn cotton. Results from this study indicate that ThryvOn has the potential to be a valuable tool for thrips management.
