“…Among other monitoring methods, sticky traps have been demonstrated to be helpful for evaluating the degree of infestation of various greenhouse crops (Allen 1995;Boone 1999;Casey and Parrella 2002;Parella et al 2003). Additionally, sticky traps can also provide a way to control pest insects on various crops (notably the thrips F. occidentalis) (Heinz et al 1992;Brodsgaard 1993;Hazarika et al 2009, but see Trdan et al 2005).…”

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.

“…remittance and fluorescence , trap size and shape (Cho et al, 1995;Coli et al, 1992;Moreno et al, 1984;Lewis, 1959), placement height of traps , sunlight degradation of colors (Childers and Brecht, 1996;Samways, 1986;Grout and Richards, 1990), cardinal direction (Beavers et al, 1971), and geographic latitude (Grout and Richards, 1990). Methods for estimating thrips densities on sticky cards have been developed that may involve either counting a section of a trap (Heinz et al, 1992), or by determining the presence-absence of thrips in grids laid over sticky traps (Steiner et al, 1999).…”

“…With size, more thrips are collected on larger traps, but the relationship is not linear (Heinz et al 1992). However, smaller traps are more efficient because there is more edge than surface area (Powell & Lindquist 1992).…”

“…This is one reason why small cards are popular for monitoring greenhouses. Heinz et al (1992) found that when using cards (11.5 x 14 cm), only a 2.3-cm vertical strip on each side of the card needs to be counted and multiplied five times to give you an accurate estimate of the total number of thrips collected on the card.…”

Monitoring of Western Flower Thrips on Glasshouse and Vegetable Crops

Western flower thrips (WFT) are difficult to monitor in glasshouse and vegetable crops due to their small size, color, and habit of hiding in growing tips and developing flowers. There is no standardized sampling method or monitoring program for WFT. The sampling methods and monitoring programs used will vary according to the crop, its value and end-market. This paper reviews the sampling methods, in particular sticky trap, that are currently being used to monitor WFT, monitoring programs used and economic thresholds that have been developed.
