and lights provide fast insights into emerging
pest pressure (Figure 3). They’re particularly
helpful for tracking thrips and fungus gnats

adjust treatments before problems escalate.

potential of flying adults, reinforcing the impact
of spray and biological programs.

EQUIP FOR SUCCESS
Propagation is the most sensitive phase of
production, and also the most rewarding when
done right. By building a toolbox of essentials
that includes sanitation, plant dips, rooting aids,
pesticide rotations, biological controls, and
sticky traps, growers can establish a healthy
crop foundation and avoid costly setbacks.
The GGSPro Team here at Griffin is always
available to help tailor recommendations to
your specific crops, systems, and seasonal
conditions. Don’t hesitate to reach out for help
building a young plant success plan from day
