The influence of pollen on combining predators to control Frankliniella occidentalis in ornamental chrysanthemum crops

2006

Skirvin, D. | Kravar-Garde, L. | Reynolds, K. | Jones, J. | Williams, M. de C.

Small scale glasshouse trials showed that second instar nymphs of Orius laevigatus reduced Frankliniella occidentalis numbers (78-92%) more than Neoseiulus cucumeris (0-30%). Combining the predators did not increase reduction of thrips numbers (84-93%). Pollen did not increase thrips control, but led to an increase in the number of thrips.
