Effects of temperature on the development and population growth of the melon thrips, Thrips palmi, on eggplant, Solanum melongena [PDF]
Journal of Insect Science, 2014 The effects of temperature on the melon thrips, Thrips palmi Karny (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), preimaginal development, survival, fecundity, longevity of females and males, and population growth were investigated at 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, and 31° C, 70-80% RH, and a photoperiod of 12:12 L:D. The results indicated that the duration of egg, larval, and pupal

Whole-Genome Sequence of Beauveria bassiana JEF-350, a Strain with High Insecticidal Activity against Melon Thrips (Thrips palmi) [PDF]
Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2022 The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana JEF-350 was isolated from forest soil in South Korea. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of JEF-350, along with the analyzed genetic information, which can be used to study insecticidal mechanisms and fungal diversity.

Insecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks [PDF]
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 7971-7984, December 2025.Insecticides outweigh rye cover crop in triggering secondary pest outbreaks. Zeus Mateos‐Fierro*, Ashley Leach, Ian Kaplan. Spider mite and melon aphid outbreaks are enhanced with broad‐spectrum insecticides, while natural enemies are reduced. However, rye cover crop has little effect on either pest or natural enemy populations.
