PubMed Therefore, foliage spray to this zone could increase the efficiency of EPN application against onion thrips (Shiberu and Mohammed, 2014). A very unusual aspect is that the thrips females can lay eggs without being fertilized by a male. uuid:3fa77f47-6c99-44f3-b6a0-aa5284df2cc4 Company In the present work, different EPNs . After the second instar, larvae let themselves fall onto the ground to pupate. Control of Thrips tabaci at the nymphal stage was more efficient than at the adult stage and increasing inoculation concentration above 15,000 IJs/ml had no significant difference in controlling onion thrips populations. Time for concern: Mid- to late summer AMA designed and supervised the overall experiment. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) of families Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae are known to be effective against a variety of pests. Hosny MM, 1964. Source: DocJ96. Adults and nymphs pierce the epidermis and cell wals and remove cell contents. Consider worker movements to and from highly infested greenhouses, and avoid wearing clothing with colors (e.g., pink, blue, yellow, white, or green) that are attractive to thrips. In the present work, use of different studied IJ/ml concentrations of the tested EPNs was found to have a little effect on increasing the reduction rate of onion thrips, which is in agreement with Premachandra et al.

EPN foliage application to control thrips in onion could be an applicable method (Trdan et al., 2007a, b), where spraying application could provide an effective way to cover leaves and parts of plants that are not exposed to direct sunlight (preferable infective areas for thrips). Therefore, foliage spray to this zone could increase the efficiency of EPN application against onion thrips (Shiberu and Mohammed, 2014). For indoor houseplants, spray or wash the plant with a soap and water solution (about 2 teaspoons detergent in a gallon of water), making sure you get the solution on all the leaves and other areas of the plant. Differences in pathogenicity were observed within the same EPN species as in Heterorhabditis indica (EGAZ3) that caused higher reduction in population of T. tabaci (adult and nymph) after 24 and 48h at a concentration of 10,000 infective juveniles (IJs)/ml compared to H. indica (EGAZ2) after 24h post treatment at a concentration of 15,000 IJs/ml. <, Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, Egypt J Biol Pest Control, doi:10.1186/s41938-017-0025-9, Biological control of the onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), in open fields using Egyptian entomopathogenic nematode isolates. 1.

Often, specialized control agentswhich can include various predators, parasites and pathogensare too good at their jobs. In the present work, different EPNs that are isolated from the Egyptian environment were tested against the onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), under field conditions. Iris yellow spot virus (IYSV) vectored by Thrips tabaci Lindeman, is a major hindrance to onion production in eastern Africa. converted to PDF/A-2b There were significant differences in the mortality levels achieved when comparing adults vs. nymphs; for example, at a concentration of 10,000 IJs/ml, EGAZ3 isolate caused more reduction in nymphs than adults (56.4 and 66.0%, respectively); these differences were tested at all concentrations. Field edges often have higher infestations and should be included in any sampling plan. Two years of research at Cornell has indicated that applying shredded straw early in the season will not harm emerged onions, but will delay thrips infestations and significantly reduce their overall abundance without affecting onion yield.
