The 64:1 dilution rate of PureCrop1 provided the best results against the thrips, with 97% Abbott’s mortality at day 5 after the applications.  The 96:1 dilution recorded 77% and the 128:1 dilution recorded 23% Abbott’s mortality at day 5.

*Note: The Abbott’s formula is an equation that is used to take raw data on mortality in the lab and apply the formula to provide a better percentage of efficacy when used in the field — to create less bias when trialled in the lab.
