Eggs, second instar larvae and adults of Thrips palmi and T. tabaci were exposed to electron beams (2.5 MeV) with doses of 0, 100, 200 and 400 Gy. The tolerance of the eggs increased with age. Second instar larvae irradiated at 100 Gy survived and emerged, however they were completely sterilized. At 200 Gy or lower, treated adults kept their fecundities, while at 400 gy they were sterilized
