Thysanoptera species associated with vineyards in the north-central area of the province of Córdoba (Argentina)

Thrips are one of the insect groups that limit the production of grapevines by damaging berries and leaves through their mouthparts. The aim of this study was to determine the species found on commercial vineyards and their relative abundance in the different phenological stages of the grapevine in Colonia Caroya, Córdoba province, Argentina. For the identification of thrips species, specimens were collected from five commercial vineyards and five grapevine varieties between 2004 and 2007. To analyze the abundance of adults and larvae in relation to the phenological stages of grapevine, sampling was carried out in 2009 and 2010 in a commercial vineyard of Malbec. Four species of thysanopterans were identified on flowers, with predominance of Frankliniella gemina. The peak of adult abundance occurred in full bloom while that of larvae was observed between the end of flowering and the fruit set stages.
