Emergence of arrehenotoky and sensitivity to pesticides in onion thrips (Thrips tabaci Lindeman) in Mie Prefecture

The relationship between the presence/absence of arrehenotoky and sensitivity to pesticides was determined in the onion thrip Thrips tabaci using six populations collected in Mie. Three of the six populations exhibited high levels of arrhenotoky and were less sensitive to pesticides than the others.
