DAMAGE CAUSED BY THRIPS IN CUCUMBER PLANTS GROWN IN THE GREENHOUSE

Abstract

This article presents the damage caused by thrips in cucumbers grown in greenhouse conditions. If a pest infects a cucumber that has entered the harvest, the shape of the fruit changes, a white spot is formed in the affected area, and it stops developing and hardens in this place. As a result, the quality of the product deteriorates, and the productivity is sharply reduced, and when the plant is damaged by thrips with 1 point, the yield is reduced by 1487.2 grams, the damage coefficient is equal to 47.5%, and when it is damaged by 5 points, the productivity is 2965.0 grams. . and the damage coefficient of reduction was found to be 94.7%.
