A trial was conducted at the Horticulture Field Research Center, Ft. Collins, CO, to evaluate the effects of soil treatments on control of onion thrips. Onions (cv. Vega) were transplanted 14 May by placing them in shallow furrows and covering. Prior to covering, Admire and Fipronil treatments were applied; Vydate applications were made 22 May as a drench that was subsequently irrigated. Individual plots were 15 row-ft, arranged in a randomized complete block with five replications. Plots were evaluated by counting thrips on ten plants/plot.
