Feeding Preference of Melon Thrips on Orchids in Hawaii

Abstract: Feeding preference of melon thrips, Thrips palmi Karny (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) was evaluated on 21 Dendrobium cultivars and the bamboo orchid Arundina graminifolia (D. Don) Hochr. Pigmented flowers resembling the morphotype phalaenopsis from Phalaenanthe sections were preferred over nonpigmented phalaenopsis, Phalaenanthe × Ceratobium hybrid… Show more

“…Currently, growers are battling issues with pesticide resistant populations that have the ability to decimate entire nurseries, this includes: T. palmi, F. occidentalis, Chaetanaphothrips orchidii (Moulton) (anthurium thrips), and Chaetanaphothrips signipennis (Bagnall) (banana rust thrips). Thrips are especially difficult to control due to their short life cycle, parthenogenetic reproduction, and their preference of hiding deep inside blossom and petals, making contact with pesticides challenging (Hata et al 1991). Additionally, thrips pupae evade treatment as they are usually found in the soil and growing media, requiring carefully timed insecticide applications occurring in succession (Hollingsworth et al 2001).…”

“…Currently, growers are battling issues with pesticide-resistant populations that have the ability to decimate entire nurseries, which include: T. palmi, F. occidentalis, Chaetanaphothrips orchidii (Moulton) (anthurium thrips), and Chaetanaphothrips signipennis (Bagnall) (banana rust thrips). Thrips are especially difficult to control due to their short life cycle, parthenogenetic reproduction, and their preference of hiding deep inside the blossom and petals, making contact with pesticides challenging [25].

“…Some work has been conducted on eggplant, cowpea, maize, onion, cotton, cabbage, peanuts, wheat, chrysanthemums, and rice with the western ßower thrips being the most extensively studied species (Parrella and Lewis 1997). Limited information is available on resistance to the melon thrips in several Solanum species (Matsui et al 1995), pepper varieties (Nuessly and Nagata 1995), chrysanthemum (Miyashita and Soichi 1993) and orchids (Hata et al 1991). The current study sought to identify and document host plant resistance to melon thrips in beans.…”
