Life History of Thrips Tabaci L. on Emilia Sagittata and Its Host Plant Range in Hawaii1

K. Sakimura

Open publisher page 21 citations

Abstract

Thrips TabaciL., the transmitter of pineapple yellow spot disease, is an introduced species in Hawaii but is now well established throughout the Islands. It has been collected from 66 different plants. The life history of the species on Emilia sagittata, one of the most important wild hosts of both insect and virus, has been studied. On this host plant chlorotic malformation of the leaves results from the insect's feeding. Parthenogenetic reproduction occurs normally under Hawaiian conditions and the biotic potential of the insect is extremely high.
