Abstract:
Studies on foliage thrips of Cashew with special reference to Red Banded Thrips (
Selonothrips rubrocinctus Giard.) was conducted at the Cashew Research Station (CRS), All India Coordinated Research Project (AICRP) on Cashew, Orissa University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT), Bhubaneswar during 2016-17 and 2017-18. Periodical observation on the Red Banded Thrips infestation were recorded from unsprayed cashew plants in the germplasm block of 15-16 years old and the thrips incidence was correlated with corresponding weather parameters during the period of sampling. The total life cycle of the pest was completed in 14.60±0.34 days (2 weeks). The study on biology of the insects revealed that the egg stage was 3.23±0.76 days, the total nymphal period was 4±0.38 days, the pre-pupal stage was 1.01±0.37 days, the pupal stage was 2.53±0.58 days and finally the adult stage was 3.85±0.58 days.
