Download or read book Thrips Biology and Management written by Bruce L. Parker and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 606 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thrips (fhysanoptera) are very small insects, widespread throughout the world with a preponderance of tropical species, many temperate ones, and even a few living in arctic regions. Of the approximately 5,000 species so far identified, only a few hundred are crop pests, causing serious damage or transmitting diseases to growing crops and harvestable produce in most countries. Their fringed wings confer a natural ability to disperse widely, blown by the wind. Their minute size and cryptic behavior make them difficult to detect either in the field or in fresh vegetation transported during international trade of vegetables, fruit and ornamental flowers. Many species have now spread from their original natural habitats and hosts to favorable new environments where they often reproduce rapidly to develop intense damaging infestations that are costly to control. Over the past decade there have been several spectacular examples of this. The western flower thrips has expanded its range from the North American continent to Europe, Australia and South Africa. Thrips palmi has spread from its presumed origin, the island of Sumatra, to the coast of Florida, and threatens to extend its distribution throughout North and South America. Pear thrips, a known orchard pest of Europe and the western United States and Canada has recently become a major defoliator of hardwood trees in Vermont and the neighboring states. Local outbreaks of other species are also becoming problems in field and glasshouse crops as the effectiveness of insecticides against them decline.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Truncated abstract] Integrated pest management (IPM) relies on the use of multiple tactics to reduce pest numbers below an economic threshold. One of the challenges for the implementation of IPM is using both insecticides and biological control. This is particularly difficult in horticultural crops where very little damage can be tolerated. Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is a worldwide pest of economic importance associated with cultivated crops, ornamentals and weeds. It is considered a major pest of strawberry, Fragaria x ananassa Duchesne (Rosaceae), and can be responsible for substantial yield loss. Insecticides are the main method of control for F. occidentalis in strawberry and other crops. Due to the rapid development of insecticide resistance and the limitations of existing biological control in Australia, there is a need to incorporate insecticides, natural enemies, and resistant host plants to keep the population below an economic threshold. This project sought to (i) evaluate commercial strawberry varieties for feeding and oviposition preferences of F. occidentalis, (ii) assess the compatibility of natural enemies with an insecticide currently used for F. occidentalis control in IPM programs, (iii) assess the effectiveness of the release of multiple species of natural enemies, (iv) determine the residual threshold of an insecticide which controls F. occidentalis effectively whilst having a reduced effect on natural enemies, and (v) assess the compatibility of natural enemies with an increased rate of an insecticide to manage an insecticide-resistant strain. Frankliniella occidentalis showed a distinctive olfactory preference in a choice trial evaluating the feeding preference of F. occidentalis to strawberry cultivars (Camarosa, Albion and Camino Real). Frankliniella occidentalis was attracted most to Camarosa for both feeding and oviposition, followed by Albion and Camino Real. Frankliniella occidentalis also preferred to feed on fresh leaves to those that had been fed upon by a conspecific. Of the three varieties tested, Camino Real was the least preferred cultivar for oviposition. The development period of F. occidentalis (from eggs to adult emergence) was shortest in Camarosa and longest in Camino Real. Overall, of the three varieties tested, Camarosa appeared the most favourable for F. iii occidentalis feeding, oviposition and population growth, and the other cultivars might be a better choice for growers seeking to reduce F. occidentalis populations...

This book was released on 2006-04-11 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM), established in 1962, is an intergovernmental organization of 13 countries: Albania, Algeria, Egypt, France, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Malta, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Tunisia and Turkey. Four institutes (Bari, Italy; Chania, Greece; Montpellier, France; and Zaragoza, Spain) provide postgraduate education at the Master of Science level. CIHEAM promotes research networks on Mediterranean agricultural priorities, supports the organization of specialized education in member countries, holds seminars and workshops bringing together technologists and scientists involved in Mediterranean agriculture and regularly produces diverse publications including the series Options Méditerranéennes. Through these activities, CIHEAM promotes North/South dialogue and international co-operation for agricultural development in the Mediterranean region. Over the past decade, the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Zaragoza has developed a number of training and research-supporting activities in the field of agroecology and sustainability of agricultural production systems. Some of these activities have been concerned with the rational use of pesticides and more particularly with the implementation of integrated control systems in order to gain in efficacy and decrease both the environmental impact and the negative repercussions for the commercialization of agricultural products.

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), and citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri (Risso) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae), are major insect pests of greenhouse-grown horticultural crops. Both insect pests cause direct and indirect damage by feeding on plant leaves, stems, flowers, and fruits, which can lead to greenhouse producers experiencing significant economic losses. Insecticides are the primary management strategy used against these insect pests. Experiments were conducted under greenhouse conditions to determine the effect of spray volume and application frequency on insecticide efficacy against citrus mealybug on coleus (Solenostemon scutellarioides) and transvaal daisy (Gerbera jamesonii) plants and western flower thrips on transvaal daisy cut flowers. Three different spray volumes, two application frequencies (one or two applications), and three insecticides, each with a different mode of action, were evaluated for each insect pest. In the citrus mealybug experiments, the insecticides acetamiprid, flonicamid, and cyfluthrin were used. The 75 mL spray volume consistently resulted in a higher mean citrus mealybug mortality than the 15 or 25 mL spray volumes. In two of the spray volume experiments, each spray volume resulted in mean citrus mealybug mortalities that were significantly different from each other. Mean percent citrus mealybug mortality was significantly higher after two insecticide applications (51.2% in the second experiment and 42.7% in the third experiment) than after one insecticide application (40.3% in the second experiment and 36.1% in the third experiment). Overall, acetamiprid was more effective against citrus mealybugs, based on percent citrus mealybug mortality, than flonicamid or cyfluthrin. Acetamiprid applied at 75 mL resulted in >70% mean citrus mealybug mortality in three of the spray volume experiments. In contrast, flonicamid and cyfluthrin each resulted in 50% mean citrus mealybug mortality in all experiments. In the western flower thrips experiments, the insecticides spinosad, chlorfenapyr, and flonicamid were used. In general, mean western flower thrips adult mortality increased as the spray volume of each insecticide increased. Application frequency affected western flower thrips adult mortality with spinosad resulting in 100% mortality and chlorfenapyr resulting in 98% mortality after two applications. Mean western flower thrips adult mortality for spinosad was >95% whereas chlorfenapyr was >67% across all experiments. In general, the mean percent western flower thrips adult mortality for flonicamid ranged between 50% and 80%. Therefore, based on percent mortality, flonicamid was less effective against western flower thrips adults than spinosad or chlorfenapyr. Results from this study emphasize the importance of operational factors, especially spray volume and application frequency, in effectively managing insect pests. However, the effect of host plant architecture on spray volume and application frequency needs to be investigated. Proper use of insecticides against insect pests can reduce insecticide inputs and costs associated with labor. Citrus mealybugs and western flower thrips can be effectively managed using designated spray volumes and application frequencies, which will increase pest mortality and improve the suppression of pest populations.
