This is the eighteenth, and final, thrips flight and TSWV risk assessment report. Read about why we are posting these reports and more in our first report. Read more about tobacco thrips biology and TSWV transmission.

This is the final of our 2018 reports. Fourth generation thrips flights are predicted or have begun at all of our report sites, and below, we summarize disease incidence observations as reported by local extension agents in these areas to date. TSWV symptoms usually continue to develop in tobacco through topping, so we will likely post one more updated incidence summary later this summer.
