Haze of glue determines preference of western flower thrips (Frankliniella occidentalis) for yellow or blue traps
Abstract In a wind tunnel we compared the colour preference for western flower thrips to four types of colour plates (clear, white, blue and yellow) applied with two types of glue (diffuse Stikem versus clear D41). Further the results for blue and yellow preference were validated in two greenhouses....
