“…The western flower thrips (WFT), Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), is a major destructive pest in greenhouse crops worldwide and remains especially problematic in ornamental crops with a zero tolerance for crop damage or in crops destined for export . This virus‐vectoring thrips species is primarily herbivorous, feeding on leaf tissue, but also on other plant materials, such as pollen and extrafloral nectar .…”

“…Blue and yellow sticky traps are used to monitor thrips population numbers and map their spread within a given area (Shipp 1995; Pearsall, 2002; Broughton & Harrison, 2012). The addition of certain chemical lures to these traps can significantly increase thrips catch, both in fields and glasshouses, sometimes by as much as 100 times (Kirk, 1985; Teulon et al ., 1993; Murai et al ., 2000; Imai et al ., 2001).…”

Monitoring of pest populations is an essential component of integrated pest management. An early warning system helps growers decide when best to take control measures, or when to alter them, should a control method prove inadequate. Studies have shown that adding chemical attractants to sticky cards can increase trap catch of western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, a global pest of agriculture and horticulture, giving more accurate accounts of population size and dynamics, thus leading to more efficient monitoring. We identify a novel semiochemical to the species, (S)-(−)-verbenone, showing that addition of this compound to sticky traps significantly increased F. occidentalis catch in two geographically distinct populations, infesting two unrelated crops of global economic importance. We validate through field trials that (S)-(−)-verbenone is highly attractive to F.occidentalis and can be used with blue sticky traps to enhance trap catch, leading to better estimations of pest population densities. The compound may be used in other control methods against F.occidentalis such as lure and kill, mass trapping and push-pull.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s40064-015-0864-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Pomimo uszkodzenia prawie 30% powierzchni liści intensywność ich fotosyntezy była o ponad 25% wyższa w porównaniu z roślinami kontrolnymi. Wcześniejsze badania wykazały, że rośliny mogą tolerować pewne zagęszczenie liczebności wciornastków bez żadnych negatywnych skutków, takich jak zahamowanie wzrostu czy obniżenie plonowania (Shipp 1995). Użyte biostymulatory działały również stymulująco na fotosyntezę roślin, szczególnie preparat Siapton 10 L. Rośliny nieuszkodzone przez wciornastki miały intensywniejszą fotosyntezę po zastosowaniu preparatu Siapton 10 L o 23%, a preparatu Asahi SL o 18%, w stosunku do roślin kontrolnych.…”

“…Żerowanie dużej liczby dorosłych osobników i larw wciornastka zachodniego może być źródłem silnego stresu dla zaatakowanych roślin. Niewielkie uszkodzenia mogą być jednak tolerowane przez roślinę i nie mają istotnego wpływu na plonowanie roślin (Shipp 1995).…”

The studies were conducted on cucumber cultivar Aramis, treated and not treated with biostimulants: Asahi SL and Siapton 10 L in the glasshouse of the Warsaw University of Life Sciences and in the Laboratory of Entomology Department. Plants were cultivated in two glasshouse chambers and western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande) was introduced to one of the chambers. The aim of the study was to evaluate if application of biostimulants to cucumber crop can increase the level of plant tolerance to thrips. Intensity of growth, photosynthesis and yield were compared in the plants treated and not treated with biostimulants. Cucumber plants tolerated injuries caused by thrips. They accelerated the growth and photosynthesis intensity in the first 4 weeks of pest feeding. This phenomenon was more evident in the plants treated with biostimulants, especially with Siapton 10 L. The yield was not significantly affected by thrips and biostimulants after 4 as well as after 6 weeks of thrips feeding.
