Adult is about 1 mm long, yellow in color and very active. Adults and larvae are found on the underside of the leaves. They give 3-6 , at most 10 offspring per year. They continue to reproduce as long as they find a host plant in warm regions.
It damages the plant by sucking the sap, by stripping the fruits, flowers and leaves. Plant leaves may become pale, spotted and silvery, then die. Damaged plants are twisted, discolored and scarred.
How Does
Extremely active thrips feed in large groups. They leap or fly when disturbed. Both adults and wingless larvae are attracted to white, yellow and other light colored flowers. It acts as a carrier for the transmission and spread of virus diseases.
Adults and pupae overwinter in the soil. In the spring, newly emerged females insert eggs into the tissues of flowers, leaves or stems. Each female can produce up to 80 eggs, which hatch in days in hot weather and weeks or months in cold weather. They become wingless larvae that feed on plant sap. After two or more nymphal stages, many thrips fall to the ground to pupate. Developing adults fly to the plant and repeat the cycle. In warm weather, the entire cycle from egg to adult can take up to 12-15 generations per year, requiring less than 16 days.
Nematac ; It is a licensed biological control agent used in the biological control of flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) larvae in ornamental plants and peppers.
