DESCRIPTION
WHO CAUSES IT?
Frankliniella sp. is a genus of tiny insects belonging to the family Thripidae, commonly known as thrips. These insects have several stages in their development, beginning with the laying of eggs in the plant tissue by adult females. The eggs hatch within a few days, releasing larvae that feed on plant cells, causing sucking damage. After going through two larval stages, the larvae fall to the ground or take refuge in protected places to pupate. The pupal phase lasts a few days, after which the adults emerge. The adults are mobile and can live for several weeks, during which they feed, mate and continue to lay eggs, spreading the infestation.
SYMPTOMS
Thrips, caused by Frankliniella sp., are pests that affect quinoa, causing a series of damages that can compromise the yield and quality of the crop. These insects feed on plant cells, causing Taches and deformations to appear on the leaves and other parts of the plant. In addition, they can transmit viruses that further aggravate the damage caused.
- Silver or whitish Taches on the leaves.
- Deformations in the leaves and flowers.
- Reduction of plant growth.
- Drying and premature leaf fall.
- Damage to young shoots.
- Potential transmission of phytopathogenic viruses.

- Regularly monitor the crop with blue sticky traps to detect the presence of thrips.
- Implement crop rotation to reduce the continued presence of the pathogen.
- Encourage the use of physical barriers such as anti-insect mesh to prevent thrips from entering the crop.
- Use natural enemies such as predatory mites and parasitoids for biological control of thrips populations.
- Apply specific and environmentally friendly insecticides, following technical recommendations to avoid resistance.
- Maintain good crop hygiene, eliminating plant debris and infested plants.
- Avoid excessive use of nitrogen fertilizers, as they can favor the development of thrips.
