“…Also, crop composition can affect the relationship between the numbers of F. occidentalis on sticky traps and in flowers in greenhouses (Robb 1989). Finally, the number, the disposition and the color of the traps (Yudin et al 1987;Brodsgaard 1989;Vernon and Gillespie 1990;Hoddle et al 2002) can influence the captures. In instance, even though our results showed a clear linear relationship between the numbers of trapped thrips (YST) and the level of crop infestation as estimated by FT, further studies should be performed to optimize the use of YST in terms of location and height above ground, among other factors.…”

The thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) is among the most important pests of greenhouse crops in Europe and causes considerable damage to commercial rose crops. The usage of pesticides is associated with major problems, and thus the interest of implementing integrated pest management (IPM) for rose crops is increasing. One essential component of IPM is field monitoring/scouting. Growers use information gathered from scouting to select and schedule appropriate control tactics. Thrips populations were surveyed in 2005 and 2006 in a greenhouse planted with roses, Rosa x Hybrida in Southern of France. From April to August, thrips were counted using yellow sticky traps (YST), knock-down techniques [i.e., tapping flower heads (FT)] and actual counts of entire plants. Thrips abundance recorded using YST correlated well with abundance levels determined through FT or actual counts (whole plant). Our results demonstrate that it is accurate to estimate thrips populations using YST in rose crops in greenhouse. Because YST takes at least twice less time than other monitoring methods, it could be used as a valid and easy monitoring technique in further development of IPM programs on roses. The possibility of setting a damage threshold using the data from the YST in the greenhouse is discussed.

“…Some field experiments showed white was preferred (Yudin et al 1987;Hoddle et al 2002), while others undertaken in greenhouses or the field found blue was preferred (Brødsgaard 1989;Bradley and Mayer 1994;Roditakis et al 2001). The properties of the viewed surface and of the light source are likely to influence color preference (Prokopy and Owens 1983).…”

Response of Female Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) to Visual Cues and Para-anisaldehyde in a Flight Chamber

The effect of visual cue color and size, volume of para-anisaldehyde (plant-derived semiochemical), and airflow on thrips behavior were examined in a flight chamber. After 5 min more female Frankliniella occidentalis (western flower thrips) landed on sticky traps containing yellow plastic squares (100 cm 2 ) (55.2% of those that flew landed on the trap) than blue (21%), white (4.7%), or transparent traps (2%). The percentage of thrips caught on traps increased with increasing size of the visual cues (0 and 1 cm 2 (4%), 4 cm 2 (16%), 25 cm 2 (44-49%), 100 cm 2 (60%)). Using a yellow (100 cm 2 ) square, fewer thrips flew in the presence of 1.0 ml (47%) or 2 ml (55%) of para-anisaldehyde than of 0.5 ml (78%). However, more thrips landed on a trap with a 100 cm 2 yellow square when 1 ml of para-anisaldehyde (81%) was added than when 0.5 ml (55%) or 2 ml (62%) were added. Airflow (0-0.3 m/s) did not affect the percentage of thrips that flew or landed on traps. Results suggest that thrips responded to a yellow cue in the absence of UV. Further, the volume of para-anisladehyde affected the percentage that flew or landed on a trap containing a yellow cue.

“…In many studies on thrips the effect of adhesive has been controlled by using the same adhesive on different coloured traps (Matteson and Terry, 1992;Gillespie and Vernon, 1990;Walker, 1974) but in others it has not. Several studies make conclusions about the most attractive colour for a given insect species but use traps with different (or at least not reported) adhesives, often commercial traps from different companies (Brødsgaard, 1989;Chen et al, 2004;Hoddle et al, 2002). Reported differences in trap catches with different coloured traps (with different adhesives) are often well within the range we observed here for different adhesives on traps with the same colour (Table 3) and therefore past research on colour preferences using traps with different adhesive needs to be reconsidered.…”
