Frankliniella occidentalis (western flower thrips).
2021Abstract Since the 1970s Frankliniella occidentalis has successfully invaded many countries to become one of the most important agricultural pests of ornamental, vegetable and fruit crops globally. Its invasiveness is largely attributed to the international movement of plant material and insecticide resistance, both of which have combined to ...

Electrical recording of plant penetration by western flower thrips
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 1996AbstractPlant penetration by western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande)) was analysed with the electrical penetration graph technique (EPG, DC‐system). Thrips attached to a gold wire were included in an electrical circuit to record EPGs when penetrating the plant tissues with their stylets.

Mobility of Western Flower Thrips in Tomato
1995To explore the role of western flower thrips (WFT) movement in the spread of the tomato spotted wilt of tomatoes (TSWV), we measured changes in the spatial gradients of thrips densities over time, in a greenhouse, using mark-recapture techniques. Recapture distributions of marked thrips were analyzed using a passive diffusion model. Dispersal rates and

Control of Western Flower Thrips in Flowers, Georgia, 1985
Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1986Abstract 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.

Distribution of Western Flower Thrips in Spain
1995Samples were taken on wild and cultivated plant species to determine the distribution of western flower thrips (WFT) and tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) in Spain. WFT infests 80% of the Spanish provinces, attacking vegetables, ornamentals, fruits and field crops.

Chemical Ecology of Western Flower Thrips
1995Western flower thrips (WFT) larvae were shown to produce an alarm pheromone. WFT responded to the pheromone by walking away from the source. Other responses included dropping from leaves by larvae, and reduced oviposition by adult females. Since second instars produce a droplet of anal fluid which deters predators, and the alarm pheromone is found in ...

Insecticide Resistance in the Western Flower Thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis
Integrated Pest Management Reviews, 2000The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is a serious pest on a wide range of crops throughout the world. F. occidentalis is difficult to control with insecticides because of its thigmokinetic behaviour and resistance to insecticides.

Rapid cold hardening in the western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis
Journal of Insect Physiology, 1997A rapid cold hardening process is reported in first instar larvae of Frankliniella occidentalis. When larvae are transferred directly from 20 degrees C to -11.5 degrees C for 2h there is 78% mortality, whereas exposure to 0 degrees C for 4h prior to transfer to -11.5 degrees C reduces mortality to 10%.

Insecticide Efficacy Against Western Flower Thrips, Georgia, 1985
Insecticide and Acaricide Tests, 1986Abstract Six insecticides were tested against Western flower thrips on tomato bedding plants. All plants were moderately infested with thrips, with the species composition approximately 90% Frankliniella occidentalis and 10% Echinothrips americanus Morgan.
