Both adults and the wingless larvae are attracted to white, yellow and other light colored blossoms and are responsible for spreading tomato spotted wilt virus and impatiens necrotic spot virus. Greenhouse thrips is sluggish and the adults tend not to fly. Publ. PDF: To display a PDF document, you may need to use a January pruning can induce additional avocado growth flush during May fruit set and reduce thrips scarring of fruit. Thrips also spread plant viruses; for example tomato thrips and western flower thrips spread the tomato spotted wilt virus. They can thrive in different places depending on what time of the year it is. Statewide IPM Program, Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of California Adults of western flower thrips and onion thrips are noticeably larger than avocado and citrus thrips adults, so mature body size helps to distinguish them when they occur together on the same host plant. Shearing stimulates thrips-susceptible new growth. Pesticides are often used to control western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) in horticultural crops. Predatory thrips can sometimes be distinguished from pest species because predators are seldom seen at high levels as can be common with certain pest thrips. Calif. Agric. Moritz, G., C. A. ODonnell, and M. Parrella. Approved chemicals. Publ. Spray for greenhouse thrips before young fruit come into contact with each other. Accessibility 2001. A systemic pesticide applied soon after emergence (within 34 days) can greatly reduce seedling damage. Rose cultivars, with sepals that remain tightly wrapped around the bud until just before blooms open, have fewer thrips problems. Herbaceous ornamentals, and certain vegetable crops, are more susceptible to serious injury from thrips feeding and thrips-vectored viruses, especially when plants are young. Most recyclers will not accept plastics with soil on them; therefore, plastic mulches typically are disposed of in landfills. Thrips cause brown to silvery, scabby scarring on the avocado and citrus fruit surface but do not harm the internal quality or flavor of the fruit. Plants suspected of being infected by thrips-vectored viruses can be reliably diagnosed only by sending properly collected samples from symptomatic plants to a laboratory that tests for plant pathogens. For example, avocado thrips and greenhouse thrips superficially scar avocado fruit skin. Females of most plant-feeding species lay their elongate, cylindrical to kidney-shaped eggs on or into leaves, buds, or other locations where larvae feed. How to Get Rid of Thrips in the Garden For example, various true bugs and mites also stipple foliage; and some true bugs produce dark fecal specks. Dreistadt, S. H., J. K. Clark, and M. L. Flint. Oakland: Univ. Delay systemic insecticide application until after plants have completed their seasonal flowering, unless the product label directs otherwise. With greenhouse thrips in Southern California up to 50% of its eggs are killed by a tiny wasp, Megaphragma mymaripenne. During the larval stage, many of them also live in the same habitat, but in mo Hoddle, M. S., L. A. Thrips hatch from an egg and develop through two actively feeding larval stages and two nonfeeding stages, the prepupa and pupa, before becoming an adult. 3332. No pesticide application will restore the appearance of injured tissue; plants will remain damaged until leaves drop, injury is pruned off, or new unblemished fruit is produced. Australia: The University of Queensland. Preventative control with insecticides used at planting is the most common method of addressing tobacco thrips in cotton. Do not implant or inject roots or trunks more than once a year. Successful use of insecticides for WFT control requires attention to the issues of pesticide choice, coverage, phytotoxicity, and resistance. USDA-CSREES Regional Integrated Pest Management Centers (PDF). It is necessary for the product to reach inside the plant base of the leaves where the majority of the thrips are located. Any type of covering that excludes insects but allows light and air penetration can be used. Thrips, order Thysanoptera, are tiny, slender insects with fringed wings. Management to prevent or delay the development of resistance is necessary for increasing the chances of effective chemical control. Chemical control of Western Flower Thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande) NEIL L. HELYER. Greenhouse thrips is readily controlled with thorough application of contact sprays such as horticultural oil, natural pyrethrins (plus piperonyl butoxide), or insecticidal soaps to the underside of infested leaves. Unfortunately, we cannot provide individual solutions to specific pest problems. Keep in mind that greenhouse thrips have natural enemies in the landscape (discussed above). Avoid planting susceptible plants next to these areas, and control nearby weeds that are alternate hosts of pest thrips. Commercially available synthetics include aluminum-metalized polyethylene and silver-embossed polyethylene plastic films. Please note: This content may be out of date and is currently under review. On average, 40% of thrips thrive on leaf litter or dead branches. If handled carefully, these may be used for more than one season. Nat. Oakland: Univ. On the other hand, in the summer and spring, they are usually in trees, flowers, and fruits. 2009. Flower petals affected by thrips can exhibit color breaks and dark streaks caused by feeding injury. Pests of Landscape Trees and Shrubs: An Integrated Pest Management Guide. A few species are brightly colored, such as the distinctive reddish-orange larvae of the predatory thrips, Franklinothrips orizabensis and F. vespiformis. Often you will learn chemical control cannot be effective until the next season, when new plant growth develops. Thorough coverage of plant tissues with insecticides is needed to provide good control. Citrus thrips occur on many species of plants but damage only blueberries and citrus. Thripobius semiluteus parasitizes greenhouse thrips larvae. For example, plants adapted to grow in full sun can be stressed when planted in shady conditions and may be more susceptible to thrips damage. Mulch can also have negative effects. Thrips. Acephate can be highly toxic to natural enemies and pollinators and can cause spider mites to become abundant and damage plants after its application. See our Home page, or in the U.S., contact your local Cooperative Extension office for assistance. Where Cuban laurel thrips is a problem on Indian laurel fig you can plant Ficus microcarpa, Green Gem, which is mostly resistant to this pest. Before using a pesticide, learn more about the biology of your pest species and the characteristics of available products by reading the label and consulting the Active Ingredients Database in the online version of this Pest Note at www.ipm.ucanr.edu. It can increase crop susceptibility to root diseases, prevent the use of overhead watering, and make it more difficult to know whether you are maintaining proper soil moisture in the rooting zone of a plant. Neonicotinoid insecticides can translocate to flowers and may harm natural enemies and pollinators that feed on nectar and pollen. Although thrips damage is ugly, it does not usually ask the use of insecticides in landscapes and gardens. However, thrips rarely kill or threaten the survival of trees and shrubs. Drip or furrow irrigation is generally necessary when using row covers. Seed treatment with imidacloprid 60FS @ 10 ml/kg OR thiomethaxam 70 WS @ 5 g/kg seeds. Avoid methods that cause large wounds, such as implants placed in holes drilled in trunks. Pest species are plant feeders that discolor and scar leaf, flower, and fruit surfaces, and distort plant parts or vector plant pathogens. The problem with aggressive chemical solutions when it comes to thrips is that they are very likely to also kill the insects that are beneficial. Thus, by the time damage is noticed on ripening fruit or distorted terminals, the thrips that caused the damage are often gone. Publ. Unlike healthy black mature thrips, the black parasitized larvae are smaller and do not move. Some abiotic disorders, pathogens, and certain other invertebrates can cause damage resembling that of thrips. Thorough coverage is very important. Prune and destroy injured and infested terminals when managing a few small specimen plants in the landscape. They feed by puncturing the epidermal (outer) layer of host tissue and sucking out the cell contents, which results in stippling, discolored flecking, or silvering of the leaf surface. Integrated Pest Management for Floriculture and Nurseries, Pests of Landscape Trees and Shrubs: An Integrated Pest Management Guide, Pest Thrips of the United States: Field Identification Guide. The primary method used for managing thrips is the application of insecticides. Search for more papers by this author. Nat. The same can be said about pyrethrin-base Homes, Gardens, Landscapes, and Turf > Mound, and D. Paris. Certain products are available only by hiring a professional applicator. Row covers, hot caps, and other types of cages with a fine mesh can exclude thrips and other insects from vegetables and other young herbaceous plants. Systemic insecticides are absorbed by one plant part (e.g., roots) and moved (translocated) to other plant parts. Identifying the species of thrips may reveal that it is harmless in certain situations and no control action is needed. DVD ISBN 978-1-86499-940-2.

However, some formulas of chemical control of thrips will work against pests. A female lives for 30 to 45 days and can produce 150 to 300 eggs during her lifetime. Unless directed otherwise by the product label, periodically repeat the application as long as pest thrips and susceptible plant parts are both present. Insects of Onions and Cabbage. Stippling as result of greenhouse thrips feeding. However, western flower thrips is regarded to be a 'pesticide-induced problem', having developed resistance to pesticides from different chemical classes. Because thrips can significantly injure cotton and reduce yields or at least delay maturity, most cotton planted in the southeastern United States receives a prophylactic insecticide treatment. With eight generations each year to deal with, that adds up to a losing battle. After feeding inside during its larval stage then pupating, the emerging adult parasite leaves a relatively large round hole in the tiny thrips egg. Chemical Control. Chemical control Petroleum spray oils can be used to control thrips and are compatible with IPM programs. Adult thrips can also be monitored by hanging bright yellow sticky traps in or near host plants. Apply the mulch before plants emerge from the soil and leave a narrow, mulch-free strip along the planting row. Host plants include onions, beans, carrots, squash and many other garden vegetables, and many flowers, especially gladioli and roses. There are also chemicals used to combat thrips, but they tend to develop resistance quickly. Investigate which material and methods are likely to work best in your situation. If injecting or implanting multiple trees, prevent the potential spread of pathogens on contaminated tools; before moving to work on each new tree, scrub any plant sap from tools or equipment that penetrate trees and disinfect them with a registered disinfectant (e.g., bleach). Before taking control action, look carefully for the insects themselves to be certain that pest thrips are present and the cause of the damage. Late-instar larvae change greatly in appearance and behavior and are called prepupae and pupae, even though thrips do not have a true pupal stage. Chemicals that have given some control of thrips in recent years include DDVP (dichlorvos), Pylon (chlorfenapyr) and sometimes Success (spinosad). On plants with a history of unacceptable damage, begin treatment early when thrips or their damage is first observed. The habitats of these pests will largely depend on the weather. Extremely active, thrips feed in large groups. Centre for Biological Information Technology, The University of Queensland. For plants that grow upright or have sensitive tips that might be damaged when pushing against covers, use hoops, plastic tunnels, or wire strung between posts to hold up covers. Contact insecticides that do not leave persistent residues can be effective for greenhouse thrips and other species that feed openly on plants. Thrips of California 2012 (CD-ROM). Old, spent flowers can harbor thrips, so their removal and disposal is sometimes recommended. Res. Integrated Pest Management for Floriculture and Nurseries. FOR ALL OTHER USES or more information, read Legal Notices. Transplant seedlings through holes in the mulch. Be aware that the presence of thrips does not mean that damage will result from their feeding. These materials are highly toxic to natural enemies and pollinators, can cause spider mite outbreaks, and are not particularly effective against most thrips. Thrips are not easy to deal with during the flowering season because they hide in the flowers and flower buds. Acknowledgements Fortunately, biological control can help you out! When the weather is warm, the life cycle from egg to adult may be completed in as short a time as 2 weeks. However, if the same insecticide is always used to control WFT, the thrips will become resistant and the chemical will no longer be effective. Thrips scrape the surface of the leaves and petals, and suck the sap, leaving a white mottled appearance on leaves. Thus, by the time damage is visible on distorted terminals or ripening fruits, the thrips that cause the heavy damage usually move away. Instead of pruning avocado during February through April, January pruning may reduce thrips scarring of fruit. Biological Control Predatory thrips (Table 2), green lacewings, minute pirate bugs, mites, and certain parasitic wasps help to control plant-feeding thrips. Some western flower thrips are resistant to only one or two chemicals, some are resistant to many. Individuals feed in groups and populations usually begin in a limited part of the plant and spread slowly. Plants are normally covered or caged only while they are young and most susceptible to damage. Western flower thrips has developed resistance to pesticides in all major chemical classes. Early harvest of Valencias will also help reduce damage from greenhouse thrips, since they will also damage ripe fruit. The pale prepupae and pupae of most species drop to the soil or leaf litter or lodge within plant crevices or galls. Nat. 2013. Res. Silver or gray is the most effective color for synthetic reflective mulch or mesh, but white also works. Contact UC IPM, Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of California, 2019 Regents of the University of California Systemic neonicotinoid insecticides, for example, can provide relatively rapid control, and can have low, moderate, or severe impacts on the surrounding environment, depending on the brand of the product, on the situation at hand, as well as the species and the life stage of beneficial insects that are unlucky enough to come in contact with it. Chemical techniques of getting rid of thrips. If thrips are a suspected cause of plant damage, thrips adults and larvae can be monitored by branch beating or gently shaking foliage or flowers onto a light-colored sheet of paper, beating tray, or small cloth.

Some organic mulches (e.g., straw) and living mulches (e.g., interplanting the crop with buckwheat, Fagopyrum esculentum) may also repel certain pests, but this is not as well documented. If insecticides are used, combining their use with appropriate cultural practices and other methods usually improves the pest control. All rights reserved. Thrips can readily move long distances floating with the wind or transported on infested plants, and exotic species are periodically introduced. This requires moderate spray pressures and high application volumes. PATRICIA J. BROBYN.

Pesticides are often used to controlwestern flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) in horticultural crops.However,western flower thripsis regarded to be a 'pesticide-induced problem', having developed resistance topesticides from different chemical classes. Releasing purchased natural enemies, in most situations, is unlikely to provide satisfactory thrips control. With soil drench or injection, there is a longer time delay between neonicotinoid application and insecticide action. Spray NSKE @ 5 % OR acetamiprid 20 SP @ 0.2g/l OR fipronil 5 SC @ 1 ml/l; Stem smearing with imidacloprid 17.8 SL @ 1ml:20 ml water and brush the liquid on the growing tip of the plant Oakland: Univ. Behavior, body appearance, and host plants help to distinguish among thrips species (Table 1). An adult, egg, and two larvae of Cuban laurel thrips. Res. In Western Australia, populations tend to peak in spring (mid-late October) and autumn (March-May). For example, western flower thrips more often damages fragrant, light-colored, or white roses. Myoporum thrips can create tightly bunched and twisted terminal growth that resembles a gall, within which large numbers of thrips can survive and reproduce. The pupae, camouflaged in dark places such as in the ground or the underneath of pots, are also hard to get at with plant hygiene treatments. On some plants thrips can cause severe stunting to the early season flush of terminal growth. In the winter months, they prefer to be on the ground or under plant debris. Superscript in Table 1 indicates possible resistance already present in the WFT population. Rose petals may develop dark streaks and spots from feeding injury that occurred before the buds opened, or the flower buds may deform and fail to open. Thrips can cause cosmetic damage to fruits. These products have low toxicity to people, pets, and pollinators and relatively little adverse impact on biological pest control; because they do not leave toxic residues that would kill natural enemies migrating in after their application. Thrips have several generations (up to about eight) a year. Feeding injury does not become obvious until after tissue grows and expands. Western flower thrips are resistant to multiple chemical groups; chemical control of this species is unlikely to be cost-effective. If the underside of leaves on susceptible plants are regularly inspected to allow early detection and removal of new infestations, pruning off colonies can be effective. Here are some basic steps you can take that will help you with thrips control: Use natural the natural oils of neem and garlic. Moreover, the Californian thrips arrived in Europe with a resistance to m Feeding results in various tissue responses, including scar formation and distorted growth.

Spinosad (Captain Jacks Deadbug Brew, Green Light Lawn & Garden Spray with Spinosad 2, Monterey Garden Insect Spray) is generally more effective against thrips than the products above. 2019 Infested terminals may discolor and become rolled. Dreistadt, S. H., J. K. Clark, and M. L. Flint. Feeding injury typically does not become apparent until after tissue grows and expands. Thrips feeding on plants can damage fruit, leaves, and shoots and very noticeably affect plants cosmetic appearance. Certain thrips occur on many different plants but damage only a few of the plant species on which they are found. Improper timing of application, failure to treat the proper plant parts, and inadequate spray coverage when using contact materials are common mistakes that can prevent potentially effective insecticides from actually providing control. The Regents of the University of California. Investigate the availability of resistant cultivars. It is recommended that specially made blue traps be used, rather than standard yellow traps; the blue traps seem to be more effective and it is easier to see the light-colored nymphs on blue than on yellow.
