1 Onion Thrips: Population Survey of Northern Utah Onion Fields 2008 Diane Alston USU Extension UtahOnion Association Meeting February 17, 2009 Egg

2 Onion Thrips Fact Sheet

4 Western Region SARE Grant: 2008: Survey of commercial onion fields Describe onion thrips population dynamics in commercial onion fields 9 farms / 15 fields (2 transplanted, 13 seeded) Relationship of crop management practices to thrips densities (N, irrigation, insecticides) Relationship of thrips densities to Iris Yellow Spot Virus (ISYV) incidence

5 Why are onion thrips such a pest? Life history and ecology well adapted to onions Females reproduce asexually (parthenogenesis) Short generation time (2 3 wk) High mobility of adults Rapid development of resistance to insecticides Life stage survival strategies Later larval instars are non feeding & protected ( prepupae & pupae ) Eggs are protected females insert them into leaf tissue Thrips life stages

6 Sources of onion thrips Adults Eggs, Larvae, & Adults Prepupae & Pupae

26 Many ways to skin a cat Multi pronged approach will be the most sustainable ti Mortality factor (insecticide): Short term quick knock down of adults & larvae Longer term egg reservoir in leaves (2 wk) Longer term immigration of adults Longer term survival of pre pupae & pupae

27 Multi pronged approach will be the most sustainable Sustained Mortality & Repellency of Thrips Cultural practices: Sprinkler irrigation Varietal tolerance Mulches Trap crops Nitrogen management Insecticides: Manage to prevent resistance Systemic activity Slow release (microencap) Ovicide, larvicide, adulticide Repellents Combinations

28 Thrips population suppression strategies Make onions as tolerant / unattractive to thrips as possible Start suppression early in the season Use long term suppressive controls Target egg reservoir in leaves Target multiple life stages Morgan Reeder field on 2006 Utah Onion Tour, Corinne, UT
