Abstract:
... A field study was conducted in east-central Alabama, USA in 2008 to evaluate the influence of colored plastic mulch on ability of thrips to locate tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum). Mulch colors (red 1, red 2, and violet) were mulches manufactured (Pliant Corp., Washington, GA, USA) based on ultraviolet reflectance, which has been shown to repel thrips, were compared to standard black and silver mul ...

Abstract:
... The insect order Thysanoptera is exclusively comprised of small insects commonly known as thrips. The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, is an economically important pest amongst thysanopterans due to extensive feeding damage and tospovirus transmission to hundreds of plant species worldwide. Geographically-distinct populations of F. occidentalis have developed resistance against m ...

Abstract:
... In summer 2012, typical symptoms of Tomato spotted wilt disease occurred on tomato plants of different resistant cultivars (carrying the Sw5 gene), in different fields in Foggia province (Apulia region, southern Italy). The percentage of symptomatic plants was 20-30% and, in particular cases of advanced stage of cultivation, it reached up to 50% at the end of cycle. All TSWV isolates induced simil ...

Abstract:
... The western flower thrips is an omnivorous insect that consumes both leaf tissue and spider mite eggs. For this reason, these thrips are often described as ‘opportunistic predators’ of spider mites. Several studies have shown that western flower thrips are often found in association with spider mites, and the development time of thrips decreases and their survivorship increases when they consume s ...

Abstract:
... The influence of seasonal greenhouse climate on the efficacy of predatory mites for thrips control was determined for potted chrysanthemum. Trials in controlled environment chambers, small-scale greenhouses and commercial greenhouses were conducted to determine which biological control agent—that is, Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot or Neoseiulus cucumeris (Oudemans)—is more efficacious for cont ...

Abstract:
... Frankliniella occidentalis is a major pest in agriculture. Problems with its control are mainly due to pupation in the soil and resistance to insecticides. Biological control agents (BCA) can be used against thrips pests as an alternative to conventional insecticides. We evaluated the effectiveness of a number of BCA for control of F. occidentalis in cyclamen under greenhouse conditions. Three BCA ...

Their functional role is speculated to be that of sex- and/or aggregation pheromone production. Yet, sexual aggregations are not reported in Echinothrips americanus, known to have sternal pores, while we obse ...

Abstract:
... The western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) is an invasive thrips pest of tomatoes in the southeastern United States. This species causes crop loss to farmers by injuring fruits and vectoring Tomato spotted wilt virus. Previous attempts to control this species using calendar applications of broad-spectrum insecticides were ineffective. A new method of managing various pest insects in va ...

Abstract:
... Supplemental food sources to support natural enemies in crops are increasingly being tested and used. This is particularly interesting for generalist predators that can reproduce on these food sources. However, a potential risk for pest control could occur when herbivores also benefit from supplemental food sources. In order to optimize biological control, it may be important to select food source ...
