“…Young leaves of weeds (perfectly open, color light green, tender, number 3-5 from the first shot) were used as arena for testing and treated mango leaves. The weeds were used such as I. triloba L., To ascertain the effect of nutrient on the development and survivorship of S. dorsalis in different host plants, biological parameters were observed for the first instar to pupa stage including the percentage of survival in each stage of S. dorsalis following the method from Kumar, Kakkar, McKenzie, Seal, & Osborne (2013).…”

“…Scirtothrips dorsalis is categorized as invasive plant pests and nominally considered as polyphagous pest (Dickey et al, 2015;Toda et al, 2014). It is also reported as an opportunistic generalist species that is able to feed on a variety of host plant species including weeds (Kumar, Kakkar, McKenzie, Seal, & Osborne, 2013;Mound & Palmer, 1981;Mound, 2005).…”

“…Kumar, Kakkar, McKenzie, Seal, & Osborne (2013) stated that crop phenology plays a significant role in determining the level of thrips infestation. This basic information expected can be utilized for developing strategies to manage S. dorsalis in preemptive and reactive strategy control as well.…”

The research objective was to quantify the development and survivorship rate of S. dorsalis in different phenological stages of mango and selected weeds. The research was conducted in the laboratory of PT. Trigatra Rajasa, Mango plantation in Ketowan, Arjasa, Situbondo, East Java, Indonesia from February to September 2015. The development and survivorship rate were done through observation of life span of S. dorsalis from egg to pupa. Analysis of Variance and Duncan Multiple Range Test (p = 0.05) with 5 replications were applied to ensure the significant differences among the treatments. The result showed that development and survivorship of Scirtothrips dorsalis were supported by mango flushes and flower as well as some weeds such as Leucania leucochepala, Ipomoea triloba, Achalypha indica, Desmanthus leptophyllus and Azadirachta indica as source of food. Achalypha indica was the most suitable host with development time (12.82 ± 0.21 days) and survivorship (33 %). Weed Tridax procumbent, Momordica charantia and Mimosa pudica were unable to provide the living requirement for immature developmental stage of S. dorsalis.

“…32 days with a total number of 60 to 200 eggs in her life time (Seal and Klassen, 2012). Eggs hatch after 5-8 days, the larval stages need 8-10 days before transforming into pupae and pupal stages are completed in 2.6-3.3 days (Kumar et al, 2013). Developmental times depend on the host species on which they are feeding and on environmental conditions, particularly temperature.…”

“…The life cycle of S. dorsalis comprises the following stages: egg, two active feeding larval instars, a prepupa and a pupa, both of which are relatively inactive, and a winged, feeding adult stage (Kumar et al, 2013). The feeding stages are usually found on the green parts of the plant, as thrips feed mainly on actively growing plant tissues (Ananthakrishnan, 1993).…”

Scientific Opinion on the pest categorisation of Scirtothrips dorsalis

The EFSA Panel on Plant Health undertook a pest categorisation for the insect Scirtothrips dorsalis for the European Union. Although there are reports that this is a species complex and there are host-specific races, it is generally treated as a distinct taxon. Both morphological and molecular methods are required to confirm identification. Apart from one long-term outbreak in a botanic garden glasshouse in England, it is absent from the EU. Native to southern and eastern Asia, this species has been introduced to tropical and subtropical areas of Africa, Australasia and the Americas in recent years. It is highly polyphagous, with over 225 known hosts, which include many important EU crops. Southern areas of the EU are potentially suitable for outdoor establishment and it could establish in protected cultivation throughout the EU. Based on its phenology, the Panel showed that the climate in southern Europe could allow a similar number of generations to develop as in Japan and South Korea, where significant damage occurs to citrus and other crops outdoors. In protected cultivation, even though control methods used against other thrips species may be effective in keeping populations at low densities, damage can still occur at these densities owing to the transmission of tospoviruses. Despite being highly polyphagous, S. dorsalis is an insect listed in Annex IIAI of Council Directive 2000/29/EC only in relation to Citrus, Fortunella and Poncirus plants. These hosts are also regulated in Annex III and Annex V. They are also explicitly mentioned in Council Directive 2008/90/EC.
