Abstract：Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande, is a fatalness pest worldwide. It causes serious damage to vegetables and ornamental crops in China, because of its various hosts, rapid reproduction ability, high resistance to drugs and difficulty in control. Certain semiochemicals play a key role in chemical communications between insect-plant or insect-insect, and it can regulate and control various insect behaviors. This paper expounds the effect of volatile chemicals and insect pheromones on western flower thrips behavior and research progress made in their application in thrips management.
