Effect of flufenoxuron (benzoylphenylurea) on Thrips palmi Karny (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)

The effect of flufenoxuron (benzoylphenylurea) on Thrips palmi was examined in relation to the ecdysis and metamorphosis of the larvae, and the survival rate and fecundity of the females by using the dipping test for eggplant leaves. Flufenoxuron inhibited the ecdysis of the 1st instar larvae and me...

Summary:The effect of flufenoxuron (benzoylphenylurea) on Thrips palmi was examined in relation to the ecdysis and metamorphosis of the larvae, and the survival rate and fecundity of the females by using the dipping test for eggplant leaves. Flufenoxuron inhibited the ecdysis of the 1st instar larvae and metamorphosis of the 2nd instar larvae into pupae, but did not affect the survival rate and fecundity of the females. The effect of flufenoxuron on the field population of T. palmi was also examined. Flufenoxuron suppressed the population increase in the same way as the organophosphorus insecticide sulprofos which killed directly the thrips, although the suppression by the former was comparatively slow.
