Abstract: The frequent and high dose use of chemical insecticides has resulted in low control of thrips Thrips hawaiiensis.The combined effect of insecticides and attractants on the control of thrips was examined through setup of treatments of different doses of insecticides and blue-plate-attractants and was compared with that of insecticides or blue-plate-attractants alone.The results showed that with the increase of treatment time,the control efficiency of different insecticides against T.hawaiiensis gradually increased.In general,the control efficiency of (74.32%),15% tolfenpyrad SC (76.84%),and 3% emamectin benzoate ME (71.85%).After a 10-day treatment,the maximum control efficiency of 30% chlorfenapyr·tolfenpyrad SC was 90.17%.The control efficiency of insecticides combined with blue-plate-attractants against T.hawaiiensis was significantly higher than that of insecticides alone.Moreover,at 3,7 and 10 days after the treatment,the control efficiency of the compound or single agents was over 90%,the highest reaching 98.54%,indicating that the blue-plate-attractants are of good performance against T.hawaiiensis.Compared with the control efficiency of blue-plate-attractants alone,it was found that the blue-plate-attractants combined with agents with high control against T.hawaiiensis were less effective whereas the blue-plate-attractants in combination with the insecticides with low control against T.hawaiiensis were more effective.These results suggest that the blue sticky traps can be used as an effective complementary measure for low dose insecticides against thrips.In this study,the high combined control efficiency of insecticides and attractants can improve the control of thrips and reduce the concentration or dosage of insecticides,and may be incorporated into an IPM package for the management of the thrips.compound insecticides was higher than that of single insecticides.After a 3-day treatment,the control efficiency of 30% chlorfenapyr·tolfenpyrad SC (84.36%) was significantly higher than that of 240 g/L chlorfenapyr SC (74.32%),15% tolfenpyrad SC (76.84%),and 3% emamectin benzoate ME (71.85%).After a 10-day treatment,the maximum control efficiency of 30% chlorfenapyr·tolfenpyrad SC was 90.17%.The control efficiency of insecticides combined with blue-plate-attractants against T.hawaiiensis was significantly higher than that of insecticides alone.Moreover,at 3,7 and 10 days after the treatment,the control efficiency of the compound or single agents was over 90%,the highest reaching 98.54%,indicating that the blue-plate-attractants are of good performance against T.hawaiiensis.Compared with the control efficiency of blue-plate-attractants alone,it was found that the blue-plate-attractants combined with agents with high control against T.hawaiiensis were less effective whereas the blue-plate-attractants in combination with the insecticides with low control against T.hawaiiensis were more effective.These results suggest that the blue sticky traps can be used as an effective complementary measure for low dose insecticides against thrips.In this study,the high combined control efficiency of insecticides and attractants can improve the control of thrips and reduce the concentration or dosage of insecticides,and may be incorporated into an IPM package for the management of the thrips.
