Abstract
The laurel thrips, Gynaikothrips ficorum (Marchal), may be controlled by spraying at monthly intervals with 0.25-percent solution of Aldrin or Dieldrin. Or trees of its preferred host, "laurel de la India," Ficus nitida Thumb., may be replaced with quite similar species of Ficus which have been proved to be immune to thrips attack.Downloads
