Abstract

We used light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to examine the effect of red light on the behavioral responses of melon thrips, Flankliniella occidentalis. We allowed adults to choose between tomato plants exposed and unexposed to red LED light under ambient fluorescent lighting conditions. Thrips were less attracted to plants exposed to red LED light during 8- as well as 24-h exposure.
