Thrips (Thysanoptera) of Coffee Flowers

Annals of the Entomological Society of America, 2017
Thrips (Thysanoptera) are opportunistic insects that exhibit a wide range of life histories. Most species are either fungivorous or phytophagous, while a few are predators. In coffee agroecosystems, the presence of these insects is noticeable, especially when coffee is flowering.

Identification of Western Flower Thrips

1995
Western flower thrips (WFT) is distinguished from other Frankliniella species by the shape of antennal segment III, the size of the pronotal anteroangular setae, the position of the ocelli and interocellar setae, and the complete comb of posteromarginal setae on tergum VIII.

IPM of Western Flower Thrips

1995
Several management strategies have been developed for control of WFT based on the biology and behavior of the pest. The following IPM strategies are described for control of WFT: physical exclusion and screening considerations; cultural controls such as weed control around greenhouses, avoidance of continuous cropping, and disposal of plant residues ...

Flower Thrips (Thysanoptera: Insecta) of Manipur

Indian Journal of Entomology, 2016
The present study reports the occurrence of 42 species of flower inhabiting thrips, belonging to 19 genera from the state of Manipur. The results reveal that out of 42 species 8 are endemic, and 7 are new records for Manipur, and host plants under 19 families harbour flower thrips.

Marigold, Flower Thrips Control, 1978

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1979
Abstract Four insecticides were evaluated for flower thrips control between July 5, and July 24, 1978. The plantings were located at the Federal Church, West Lafayette, Indiana. All of the treatments were foliar applications applied with a one gallon B&G Stainless Steel compressed air sprayer operating at 30 psi.

Snap Beans, Flower Thrips Control, 1979

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1980
Abstract 'Half runner' beans were planted using a Planet Jr. on May 17, near Benson, NC. Single-row plots 10 ft long were replicated 4 times in a randomized complete block design with 2 ft alleys between replications. One maintenance spray combining Sevin and diazinon was made prior to the start of the test. Pretreatment counts were made

Western Flower Thrips Response to Color

1995
The color preferences of western flower thrips (WFT) were studied to help use sticky traps efficiently. White, yellow and blue traps were tested. Bright blue and dark blue traps were the most attractive. The Horiver-Tr® trap captured more WFT than these blue traps but not significantly more than the dark blue trap.

Control of Western Flower Thrips in Flowers, Georgia, 1985

Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1986
Abstract The plants were maintained on raised greenhouse benches Each 6.5 in plastic azalea pot contained 4 plants. All plants were heavily infested with thrips of all stages. The Western flower thrips made up over 90% of the flower thrips species found in the flowers.

Attraction of New Zealand Flower Thrips, Thrips obscuratus, to cis-Jasmone, a Volatile Identified from Japanese Honeysuckle Flowers

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2009
This work was undertaken to identify floral compound(s) produced by honeysuckle flowers, Lonicera japonica (Thunberg), that mediate the attraction of New Zealand flower thrips Thrips obscuratus (Crawford). Volatiles were collected during the day and night and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to determine their emission over ...

Insecticide Resistance in Western Flower Thrips

1995
Leaf dip bioassays were used to determine the breadth of tolerance of three pesticides for western flower thrips (WFT) populations collected from greenhouses with minimal (’sD’ strain) and intensive insecticide use (’sB’ strain), and from a susceptible colony where no pesticides were applied for 1 yr prior to the study (‘UC’ strain). Additionally, five
