      abstract = {Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood is a significant pest of  various vegetable, ornamental and fruit crops. Its biology  is little known and its management remains largely to be  developed. On 'Jalapeno' pepper plants BotaniGard® ES  (Beauveria bassiana) applied at 2 qt/100 U.S. gal (0.5  L/100 L) at weekly intervals significantly reduced mean  numbers of S. dorsalis adults and larvae when compared with  the nontreated control. TriCon™ (a blend of borax, orange  oil and biodegradable surfactants) at 50 oz/100 U.S. gal  (391 ml/100 L) also reduced S. dorsalis populations on  pepper and cotton when compared with the nontreated  control. Metarhizium anisopliae (green muscardine fungus)  at 29.0 oz/100 U.S. gal (227 ml/100 L) effectively reduced  S. dorsalis adults on cotton. All treatments of M  anisopliae and B. bassiana significantly reduced  populations of chilli thrips larvae, and were comparable to  spinosad (Spintor®), which provides excellent control of S.  dorsalis larvae.},
