After the second instar, larvae let themselves fall onto the ground to pupate. 2022 BioMed Central Ltd unless otherwise stated. Traditionally, controlling thrips is conducted via the usage of chemical applications, which may explain the widespread chemical-resistance development in onion thrips (Jensen, 2000). Egypt J Biol Pest Control, doi:10.1186/s41938-017-0025-9 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. One of the major destructive pests of onion is onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), which feeds on onion plants during their vegetative growth and fruit filling (Mahmoud, 2008). 3. 2022 University of Massachusetts Amherst Site Policies, Center for Agriculture, Food,andtheEnvironment, Request a Crop & Pest Management Planning Meeting, Northeast Vegetable and Strawberry Pest Identification Guide, Cucurbit Disease Scouting & Management Guide, Sweet Corn IPM Scouting Guide & Record Keeping Book, Nutrient Management Guide for New England Vegetable Production, Heating Greenhouses with Locally Grown Corn, Recursos en Espaol (Spanish-Language Resources), New England Vegetable Management Guide website, Cabbage, Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Other Brassica Crops, Request a Crop & Pest Management Planning Session, CenterforAgriculture, Food, and theEnvironment, Center for Agriculture, Food and the Environment.
