Quantification of Thrips Damage Using Ilastik and ImageJ Fiji
Bio-Protocol, 2018 Quantification of insect damage is an essential measurement for identifying resistance in plants. In screening for host plant resistance against thrips, the total damaged leaf area is used as a criterion to determine resistance levels. Here we present an

Comparative toxicity of certain medicinal plants against invasive chili thrips, Thrips parvispinus (Karny) [PDF]
Chilli thrips, Thrips parvispinus, is an invasive pest causing significant yield losses of up to 80%. To manage this, pest farmers rely only upon insecticides and this situation leads to insecticidal residues being higher than the maximum residual level (

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is an herbivore‐induced plant volatile (HIPV) known to attract natural enemies of herbivores; however, its effectiveness as a semiochemical across diverse cropping systems and broad geographic regions remains unclear. In this 2‐year field study, we sampled natural enemies using MeSA‐baited and unbaited (control) yellow

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The use of alternative food has become an integral component of biocontrol, allowing the introduction and establishment of predators into a crop before pest invasion and sustaining populations even when pest densities are low. The addition of alternative food also has a positive long‐term effect in decreasing the densities of the pest.

Avocado thrips: New challenge for growers
California Agriculture, 2002 Avocado thrips arrived in California in 1996. Since then, we have made substantial progress in our understanding of this pest. We now know the area of origin of the avocado thrips and have compiled an inventory of other potential pest thrips species on ...
