University of Georgia entomologist David Riley, right, and vegetable farmer Bill Brim, left, look at thrips and discuss the disease the insects carry in Brim's tomato field in Tifton, Ga. A $1.75 million US Dept. of Agriculture grant will help Riley and a team of experts from UGA, Clemson University, University of Florida and North Carolina State develop streamlined ways farmers can combat the tomato spotted wilt virus.
