ABSTRACT
Biological parameters of the onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman were studied on the
following onion (Allium cepa L.) cultivars: Nasik Red Plus N-53, Onion Dr-301 (Krishna),
Onion White, and Nasik Red, at 25±1oC and 65±5% RH. Signifi cant (p < 0.05) differences
were found in the life stages and fertility life tables on different cultivars except in the pupal
stages. More information about the biological parameters of T. tabaci on onion cultivars
can help in designing Integrated Pest Management programs for onion thrips.
