Onion Thrips

Thrips are some of the most damaging insect pests to the leaves of onions globally. Although there are many species of thrips, the western flower and onion thrips are the most common species and they can attack many garden crops, but most commonly cause serious damage to onions, leeks and garlic, tomato, sweet pepper, eggplant, roses, chrysanthemum, gerbera, carnations, bulbs and many others. Both onion thrips and western flower thrips strike onion, but onion thrips are believed to be more frequent and harmful than western flower thrips.  In many areas have both onion thrips and western flower thrips, but their numbers can change over the season. The key to minimizing losses caused by onion thrips will involve the combination of cultural and chemical controls, and use of resistant and tolerant varieties that suppress onion thrips populations and reduce feeding damage.
