The kairomone p-anisaldehyde increases the effectiveness of sticky traps for capturing Neohydatothrips signifer (Insecta: Thysanoptera) in yellow passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) crops
Abstract:Thrips are important pest species in a wide variety of crops. Their cryptic behavior imposes a challenge for damage detection and population control with traditional methods (e.g., insecticides). Although the exploitation of chemical ecology strategies for thrip monitoring and mass-trapping is relatively widespread, the research in this regard in Neotropical regions is still scanty. In this study, we conducted a field experiment to test whether the kairomonep-anisaldehyde would increase the effectiveness of st… Show more
