摘要：
This culture method for western flower thrips creates a simple artificial environment with Persian cucumber fruits rather than complex host plant structures. In addition, replacing soil/vermiculite with thick paper towel reduces the opportunity for fungal contamination and mite infestation. The method requires little specialized equipment and minimal interference in the thrips lifecycle yet it can produce consistent numbers of thrips separated into age specific cohorts.
