This poster describes a website www.tswvramp.org that presents research and extension efforts on thrips-vectored Tomato spotted wilt (TSW) virus management in tomato and pepper in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina. It was developed as part of a USDA RAMP 2008-2012 funded project entitled, “A Reduced-Risk System for Managing Thrips and Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus in Tomato and Pepper in the Southeastern U.S.A.” The integrated pest management approach to this pest problem involves forecasting when the thrips vectors occur relative to tomato and pepper production in the Southeast, assessing potential severity of the disease, identifying management tactics that consistently mitigate the negative effects on crop production quality and providing decision criteria for the best use of these tactics.
