“…Chemical management options for thrips in peanut, like many other row crops, are limited to a few insecticide active ingredients ( Reddy et al, 1995 ; Todd et al, 1995 , 1996 ; Herbert et al, 2007 ; Culbreath et al, 2008 ; Marasigan et al, 2016 ). The most commonly used insecticide classes include organophosphates, carbamates, phenylpyrazole, pyrethroids, and neonicotinoids ( Todd et al, 1996 ; Culbreath et al, 2003 , 2016 ; Mandal et al, 2012 ; Marasigan et al, 2016 ; Srinivasan et al, 2017 ).
