Abstract:
The thrips species, Thrips tabaci Lindeman, Frankliniella
occidentalis (Pengande), (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), are the most common
pests on the cultivated plants. The different color traps were tested to learn
attraction of the thrips species on the Canola and Napa cabbage plants in
Colorado. The neon yellow, orange, neon orange and neon pink were attractive for
the thrips species on the brassica crops. The blue, white, silver, aluminum dull
surface and aluminum shiny surface color traps were not attractive for thrips
species.
