They are sites where a female has oviposited into developing flower buds or fruitlets. Despite the cosmetic damage suffered by these light skinned apple cultivars they are seemingly unaffected by most thrip vectored viruses. Infested apples of the mountain west simply provide a natural setting for Western Flower Thrips to thrive and reproduce.
It is one of the most common viruses affecting cultivated orchids, perhaps second only to the Cymbidium mosaic virus. [1] It causes spots on leaves and colored streaks on flowers. [ 1 ] If a plant is also infected with the Cymbidium mosaic virus , it can lead to a condition called blossom brown necrotic streak.

[1] Pythium ultimum and Phytophthora cactorum are known to cause black rot in orchids. [1] Pythium ultimum is a pathogen that causes damping-off and root rot on plants. [2]
Female thrips deposit eggs into the young fruit. The eggs hatch and larvae begin to feed on and damage the skin. [12] The early development of the fruit is a critical time for fungal infection and this overlap with thrip damage exacerbates the infection of the disease. It is important to eliminate or minimize thrips for effective control of ...
