Of 35 species of ornamental plants and vegetables tested, 30 species were attacked by the banded greenhouse thrips,
Hercinothrips femoralis, under laboratory conditions. Of these, dumb cane (
Dieffenbachia sp.), beach lily (
Crinum asiaticum var.
japonica), turmeric (
Curcuma longa), plantain lily (
Hosta sp.), prairie gentian (
Eustoma grandiflorum), common cockscomb (
Celosia argentea), pink (

Duranta repens), sultan snapweed (
Impatiens wallerana), cucumber (
Cucumis sativus), egg plant (
Solanum melongena), kidney bean (
Phaseolus vulgaris) were most susceptible to damage by the thrips. Malathion 50EC, acephate 50WP and 5G, etofenprox 20EC, spinosad 25SG, emamectin-benzoate 1EC, methidathion 40EC and nitenpyram 10G gave 100% control of the thrips in a glasshouse test.
