The abundance of thrips (Thysanoptera) on vegetables plantation in Jambi region, Sumatera, Indonesia

Expanding host range and geographical distribution of Thrips parvispinus (Karny): Onion as new host from Northern India

“…The survey for infestation of T. parvispinus in major onion growing districts of Haryana (Table 1) indicated the maximum infestation in Yamunanagar district (ranging from 21-27 thrips/ plant in Radur, Jagadhari and Bilaspur) followed by Kuruskshetra (ranging from 13-21 thrips/ plant) while Hisar district presented lower infestation of the T. parvispinus (7-14 thrips/ plant). (Sartiami and Mound, 2013;Johari, 2015). The feeding injury incited by T. parvispinus further exacerbate the severity of onion purple blotch disease (Saini, 2022).…”

“…They are known to incite damage through rasping and sucking the sap from different plant parts with left mandible (Raghavendra et al, 2023). It is considered a destructive polyphagous pest causing signi cant damage to solanaceous crops in Indonesia (Johari, 2015). The expansion of international trade has led to rapid spread of Thrips parvispinus to South East Asian countries, Northern Australia and Solomon Island (Palmer, 1992), extending its area of distribution to China (Zhang et al, 2011), Phillipines (Reyes and Rillon, 1994), Taiwan (Mound and Masumoto, 2005) and now India as well (Tyagi et al, 2015).…”

Origin, Evolution, Breeding, and Omics of Chayote, an Important Cucurbitaceae Vegetable Crop

“…Alfalfa mosaic virus was found on chayote plants for the first time in Italy (Parrella et al, 2020). A potential threat for the S. edule crop is also pests, such as whiteflies and thrips (Johari and Lukman, 2017). They can damage the leaves and cause plant death in severe cases.…”

Activity Patterns, Population Dynamics, and Spatial Distribution of the Stick Tea Thrips, Dendrothrips minowai, in Tea Plantations

“…Thrips may also serve as vectors for plant diseases, such as tospoviruses [ 6 , 7 ]. In most annual vegetable and row crop production systems, along with climatic variables, the seasonal availability of host plants proudly impacts thrips population dynamics [ 8 , 9 ]. However, in perennial plantation crops where the host is available throughout the year, thrips population dynamics and their dispersal patterns are largely influenced by climatic variables [ 4 ].…”
