Abstract

Field experiments were conducted during 2014-15, Kharif to study the species composition of chilli thrips. The results revealed that species composition of chilli thrips was studied by collecting the thrips from leaves, flowers and fruits and identified by using the taxonomic keys. The thrips species inhabiting the leaves and fruits were identified as Scirtothrips dorsalis, while the flowers were colonized by four species of thrips, of which three species viz., Frankliniella schultzei, Thrips palmi and Thrips hawaiiensis belong to the family Thripidae of Terebrantia sub order and the fourth species Haplothrips verbasci belongs to the Tubulifera sub order of phlaeothripidae family. Among blossom thrips, F. schultzei was the predominant species constituting 84.4% of the total population followed by H. verbasci (10.80%) and T. hawaiiensis (4.20%). T. palmi was found in very low numbers (4) and it constituted 0.60% of the total population.
