Nematodes and Lacewings

[OzoneNY]

This is most likely the new reality I live in since I move to Texas a few years ago. So my predatory/beneficial nematode and green lacewing pest management method is proving to be very effective and reasonable in terms of application, maintenance and cost in controlling what I consider the most irritating insect since the mosquito...... Thrips. For 3 years now I have battled this nearly invisible pest and for one reason or another , I lost the battle. Of the dozen or so tomato plants I have grown each year since I move here I never got a harvest of more than 50 or 60 tomatoes.

This year is off to a good start and maybe, just maybe I will have something to boast about
