Two glasshouse trials in a capsicum crop near Warkworth New Zealand in January 2011 and two field trials in a nectarine orchard near Lleida Spain in July 2013 were undertaken to determine if trap capture of Frankliniella occidentalis (western flower thrips WFT) and Thrips tabaci (onion thrips OT) could be increased by alternative volatile compounds beyond the known thrips attractant methyl isonicotinate (MI) On blue sticky board traps in the crop in New Zealand none of six alternative compounds tested caught more thrips (mostly WFT OT and two other species) than the Control traps In contrast to MI catches with the alternative lures were mostly significantly lower For both trials in the orchard in Spain using white water traps the highest numbers of WFT and OT were caught higher than most of the nine alternative odour compounds tested

Two field trials were undertaken in a fallow field adjacent to citrus trees at Agricultural Operations at the University of California Riverside (CA) USA to examine the efficacy of 14 chemical lures for attracting western flower thrips (WFT) Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) and onion thrips (OT) Thrips tabaci Lindeman to yellow sticky traps over 24 hours Air temperatures during the two trials ranged from 16 to 36oC In both trials traps with methyl isonicotinate caught significantly more (x28 and x34 respectively) female WFT than traps without lures No other chemical lure tested caught as many WFT as the methyl isonicotinatebaited traps In trial 1 traps with ethyl isonicotinate (not included in bioassay 2) caught significantly more female OT (x40) than traps without lures No other chemical lure tested caught as many OT as the ethyl isonicotinatebaited traps Because of the close proximity of the traps (10 m between traps) control traps were expected to have been influenced by odour from baited traps thereby reducing the apparent efficacy of the baited traps

Western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis)and onion thrips (Thrips tabaci)are very important pests of vegetables and ornamentals grown under protected conditions. Both are vectors of several Orthotospovirusspecies. We wanted to know if these insects have a host preference and a gradation period, so we contacted a cut chrysanthemum grower in south Bács-Kiskun county if he would allow us to followupthe occurrence of these thrips species in his nursery. We carried out our trial from 2015 to 2019 on 3 cultivars. These cultivars are popular cut flowers in Hungary and are grown successfully by many growers. Basedon our results we were able to answer both questions.

AbstractMethyl isonicotinate is one of several patented 4-pyridyl carbonyl compounds being investigated for a variety of uses in thrips pest management. It is probably the most extensively studied thrips non-pheromone semiochemical, with field and glasshouse trapping experiments, and wind tunnel and Y-tube olfactometer studies in several countries demonstrating a behavioural response that results in increased trap capture of at least 12 thrips species, including the cosmopolitan virus vectors such as western flower thrips and onion thrips. Methyl isonicotinate has several of the characteristics that are required for an effective semiochemical tool and is being mainly used as a lure in combination with coloured sticky traps for enhanced monitoring of thrips in greenhouses. Research indicates that this non-pheromone semiochemical has the potential to be used for other thrips management strategies such as mass trapping, lure and kill, lure and infect, and as a behavioural synergist in conjunction with insecticides, in a range of indoor and outdoor crops.
