Sweet Deep Grapefruit

Lot of Thrips in here this week. Receiving Spinosad this afternoon and will treat roots and leaves before it's to late within the flowering schedule. Spinosad is an organic pesticide that can be used both as a topical spray and at the roots. Spinosad is highly active, by both contact and ingestion, the mode of action of spinosoid insecticides is by a neural mechanism. The spinosyns and spinosoids have a novel mode of action, primarily targeting binding sites on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) of the insect nervous system that are distinct from those at which other insecticides have their activity. Spinosoid binding leads to disruption of acetylcholine neurotransmission. Spinosad also has secondary effects as a γ-amino-butyric acid (GABA) neurotransmitter agonist. It kills insects by hyperexcitation of the insect nervous system.
