Abstract
There are many problems associated with the investigation of the effect of light on thrips behaviour. Some techniques to overcome them are presented. Experiments on the effect of light on take-off showed that adult female Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) took off readily and at a similar rate under UVA (350–380 nm), human-visible white light (400–700 nm) and human-visible white light with UVA (350–700 nm). Thrips also took off in the dark, but the rate was significantly lower. Thus, light was not necessary for take-off and either UVA or human-visible white light or both could stimulate take-off.
