Thrips

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Polyphagous Pests of Crops

Abstract

Thrips are economically important insect pests across the global agroecosystems. They belong to order Thysanoptera. They are phytophagous, predaceous or mycophagous insect pests that inhabit a broad range of habitats. Although about 7700 species of thrips have been reported to date, hardly 1% of the species of this group damage the crops. Still their importance cannot be overestimated. Thrips have piercing and sucking types of mouthparts; as a result, they damage the crops either by feeding or by enormous oviposition. Since biocontrol methods using predaceous bugs and mites are largely unsuccessful, chemical insecticides are commonly used for managing thrips populations. However, entomopathogenic fungi are other potential biocontrol agents for certain thrips species. Nowadays, omic-based techniques and advanced computational systems are the powerful tools for crop protection. Assessing plant–thrips interactions, exploring genetic diversity amongst thrips species and using resistant crop varieties may possibly assist in suppressing their populations below economic threshold in the near future. In this chapter, economic importance of thrips as insect pests and their management methods have been discussed so that they may not affect the global crop productivity.
