Onion is the most important vegetable produced in Burkina Faso. It contributes to food and nutrition security a source of income for farmers. Thrips, which feed on leaves plant, are main insect pest onion. The objective this study was access diversity, host range distribution Thrips spp. three onion production areas Three sites were chosen each basin, plant species present sampled inspected det...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Unlike other taxa in Juglandaceae or in closely related families, which are anemophilous, Platycarya strobilacea has been suggested to be entomophilous. In Juglandaceae, Juglans and Carya show heterodichogamy, a reproductive strategy in which two morphs coexist in a population and undergo synchronous reciprocal sex changes. However, there has been no study focusing on hetero...

ducted with modern cotton cultivars (Touchton et al., 1984; Bauer et al., 1993; Daniel et al., 1999; Larson et Thrips, primarily Frankliniella spp., can damage cotton (Gossypal., 2001). Grass cover crop residues generally have a ium hirsutum L.) seedlings. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect of winter cover crops on thrips populations in high C/N ratio, which causes N immo...

abstract-the species frankliniella occidentalis (pergande),western flower thrips, is a highly polyphagous pest and an important vector of tospoviruses on several crops and ornamental plants. western flower thrips has been introduced throughout the world and has been subject to many biological studies including mass rearing. in this survey, seven common mass rearing methods of f. occidentalis we...

Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus (TSWV) is transmitted exclusively by certain species of thrips. Because TSWV can only be acquired by larvae and transmitted by adults, it is essential to determine the ecology of these different life stages to improve management of thrips and TSWV. Furthermore, interspecific differences among vector species complicate management issues. Herein, aspects of the biology a...

Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and other closely related tospoviruses are serious threats to many agricultural, ornamental, and greenhouse crops. TSWV was first recorded in the southeastern United States during the middle to late 1980's with the first collections of the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande, following shortly thereafter. In North Carolina, TSWV was first ...
