Catching Thrips (thysanoptera: Thripidae) with Various Traps
نویسنده
چکیده
Various traps were evaluated for capture of western flower thrips, Franklinella occidentalis (Pergande). More thrips were attracted to blue sticky cards compared with yellow or white cards. With the addition of blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) thrips numbers on blue cards increased 2.2 fold. The numbers of thrips caught per 10cm on blue sticky cups were 2.4 times more than on blue sticky cards. Blue LEDs increased the efficacy of blue sticky cards for catching thrips and maybe useful in greenhouses for monitoring and thrips control. The higher trap catches and reduced costs indicated that blue sticky cups would be the better choice for thrips monitoring and control.

Yellow, white, and blue sticky cards were tested in an avocado orchard for their attractiveness to Scirtothrips perseae, Frankliniella occidentalis and Franklinothrips orizabensis. Clear pieces of plastic coated with adhesive were used as controls to determine rates of random interception of thrips independent of color. Yellow was most attractive to S. perseae and white cards captured mostly F....
