Thrips (Thysanoptera) are small insects that can cause huge problems in agriculture, horticulture, and forestry through feeding and the transmission of plant viruses. They produce a rich chemical diversity of pheromones and allomones and also respond to a broad range of semiochemicals from plants. These semiochemicals offer many opportunities to develop new approaches to pest management. Aggregation pheromones and plant-derived semiochemicals are already available in commercial products. We review these semiochemicals and consider how we can move away from using them mainly for monitoring to using them for control. We still know very little about the behavioral responses of thrips to semiochemicals, and we show that research in this area is needed to improve the use of semiochemicals in pest management. We also propose that thrips should be used as a model system for semiochemically mediated behaviors of small insects that have limited ability to fly upwind.
蓟马（缨翅目）是一种小型昆虫，它们通过取食和传播植物病毒，在农业、园艺和林业中造成巨大问题。它们产生丰富的化学多样性的信息素和他感物质，并且对植物来源的多种化学生态学物质作出响应。这些化学生态学物质为开发新的害虫管理方法提供了许多机会。聚集信息素和植物来源的半化学物质已经在商业产品中使用。我们回顾了这些半化学物质，并考虑了如何将它们从主要用于监测转移到用于控制。我们仍然对蓟马对半化学物质的行为反应知之甚少，我们表明，需要在这一领域进行研究，以改善半化学物质在害虫管理中的使用。我们还提议，蓟马应该被用作一个模型系统，用于研究具有有限逆风飞行能力的小型昆虫的半化学介导行为。
