Scirtothripsdorsalis (Chilli thrips) Joe Chamberlin Matt Ciomperlik Amanda Hodges Jeff Michel Cindy McKenzie S. Ludwig L.S. Osborne Cristi Palmer C. Regelbrugge L. Schmale D. Schuble
S. dorsalis Synonyms: Chilli, Castor, Berry, Assam and Yellow Tea Thrips Host Plants: Over 150 host plants including banana, beans, chrysanthemum, citrus, corn, cotton, cocoa, eggplant, ficus, grape, grasses, holly, jasmine, kiwi, litchi, longan, mango, onion, peach, peanut, pepper, rose, soybean, strawberry, tea, tobacco, tomato, viburnum, etc.
ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE Major pest of: • strawberries in Queensland, Australia • tea in Japan and Taiwan • citrus in Japan and Taiwan (Chiu et al. 1991, Tatara and Furuhushi 1992, Tschuchiya et al 1995) • cotton in the Ivory Coast (Bournier 1999) • soybeans in Indonesia (Miyazaki et al.1984) • chillies and castor bean in India • peanuts in several states in India (Mound and Palmer 1981). • Ananthakrishnan (1984) also reports damage to the following hosts: cashew, tea, chillies, cotton, tomato, mango, castor bean, tamarind, and grape. • Rose in India
Is Scirtothrips dorsalis a Serious Economic Pest for the US? Assuming an overall U.S. crop yield loss from Chilli Thrips of 5 percent the total crop value loss would equal $3.0 billion (primary hosts $583 million and secondary hosts $2.43 billion). Assuming an overall U.S. crop yield loss from Chilli Thrips of 10 percent the total crop value loss would equal $5.98 billion (primary hosts $1.2 billion and secondary hosts $4.78 billion).
