The article presents data on the distribution in the territory of Uzbekistan and the morpho-biological description of American thrips (Echinothrips americanus Morgan). In Uzbekistan, this pest was discovered in 2014 in greenhouses of the Tashkent region. Trips belong to wide polyphagous and therefore are very dangerous. In 2018, the greenhouses of Shomurod Ugli, Kibray district, Tashkent region, tested several drugs. The results of studies showed their high efficiency - on the 14th day after treatment, the death of thrips was observed (88-92%). In the future, complex measures will be developed that will include not only a chemical control method, but also a biological one.
