ABSTRACT

The paper presents the population dynamics of Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) and evaluates the effectiveness of two types of coloured sticky traps in monitoring the pest abundance in the cultivation of ornamental plants in greenhouse. During the study a total number of 60 014 western flower thrips (WFT) specimens had been captured. The species appeared more abundant on blue sticky traps (31 358 specimens in total) compared to yellow traps (28 656). A mean number of thrips recorded during entire study period per sticky trap was 13.85 specimens. Median for the number of WFT captured on one trap per day was 8.09 specimens for season I, and 22.88 specimens for season II. The intensity of F. occidentalis occurrence throughout the study period was variable. When monitoring WFT occurrence in greenhouse production of ornamental plants, a special attention should be paid to thrip population size in spring (February–April)and summer (May–July).

Key words: biology, Frankliniella occidentalis, sticky traps, ornamental plants, greenhouse.
