Cereals as host plants for thrips (Thysanoptera) in Norway
Norwegian Journal of Entomology 47 (1), 1-6
Abstract: A survey of thrips (Thysanoptera) in cereals was carried out in southeastern Norway in 1996. No high densities of thrips were recorded. Limothrips denticornis and Frankliniella tenuicornis were the dominating species. Stenothrips graminum, which is new to the Norwegian fauna, was also found in abundance. L. denticornis reproduced in the cereals only to a small extent. F. tenuicornis completed two generations, one in winter cereals in June and a second generation in spring cereals in July. Pollen as an oviposition stimulant is discussed.
