India’s agricultural sector faces a series of problems when it comes to increasing crop productivity. Despite the efforts of researchers to discover productive agricultural practices, crop yield has not been the most pleasing, and one global reason stated for this poor crop yield is the insect pests. Predicting in advance the occurrence of peak activities of a given pest could enable the develo...

Laboratory studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of a kaolin-based particle film on biological characteristics of the onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), on onions. Oviposition rate was significantly reduced on kaolin-treated vs. water-treated onion leaves and plants, in choice and no-choice assays. Hatch rate was reduced when kaolin particle film was applie...

Thysanoptera from the Galápagos Islands were inventoried from 627 slide-mounted specimens that were made with material that had been stored at the Reference Collection of Terrestrial Invertebrates at the Charles Darwin Research Station, Galápagos, Ecuador. Museum material was complemented by field collections conducted over the period October – November 2009. This inventory was augmented from r...

In this study, the diversity of thrips (Insecta: Thysanoptera) on two varieties olive trees (Chemlal and Sigoise) in northeast Algeria (Province Batna), was evaluated for 3 years (2019–2021). addition, fluctuations numbers phytophagous were estimated according to phenological stages. A total 19 species are identified (Liothrips oleae) have just been reported first time Algeria. Only 5 females c...

Onion thrips, Thrips tabaci (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is one of the main problems and yields limiting factors in onion fields (Allium cepa L.). In present work, an effort was made to study relative susceptibility different cultivars infestation with evaluation some chemical bio-insecticides against T. effect meteorological on its population density. The results showed that infest all tested mor...
