Overview

Assessment of thrips dynamics in cowpea flowers shows adults prefer specific floral structures, suggesting impacted pest control.

Key Points

  • Thrips abundance significantly varies with cowpea flower developmental stages, notably higher in open flowers.
  • Approximately 76.7% of nymphs and 58.3% of adults occupy specific floral structures within cowpea flowers.
  • Behavior analysis utilized a Y-tube olfactometer and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry to evaluate thrips responses to floral volatiles.
  • Findings highlight the significance of floral age and structure in influencing pest distribution and management strategies.
