Abstract
Grove and laboratory studies showed that Aleurodothrips fasciapennis (Franklin) is more numerous in the spring and early summer, completes a life cycle in about 4 weeks, will feed and develop on the purple scale (Lepidosaphes beckii (Newman)), Florida red scale (Chrysoinphalus aonidum (L.)), chaff scale (Parlatoria pergandii Comstock), cloudy-winged whitefly (Dialeurodes citrifolii (Morgan)), and six-spotted mite (Eotetranychus sexmaculatus (Riley)), but is more vigorous on the armored scales (Diaspididae). This predatory thrips was found to fluctuate numerically with the populations of purple scales and to be severely affected by parathion, moderately by chlorobenzilate (ethyl 4,4´-dichlorobenzilate), and acid lead arsenate and slightly or not at all by zineb, sulfur, and copper.
