Abstract
Flower-dwelling thrip, Thrips hawaiiensis (M.) appeared to have certain appetite for flowers of some cultivars of gladiolus. Cultivar T512 was the most favorite one for this thrip. White Prosperity and T609 also had good performance, but the other four cultivars, Red Beauty, Albert, Applause and Peter Pears seemed to have little seduction for the thrip. Experiments were conducted both in the field and laboratory. All data were shown as No. of thrips/flower or No. of thrips/spike. The floral scent was proved to be a major factor influencing the thrip’s choice of cultivars of gladiolus. In addition, color hue could be another improtant factor. Fully blooming gladiolus flowers had potent attraction to the thrip, and their performance was proportional to the degree of development of flower buds. The conspicuous color contrast, floral scent, floral shape and nectar of an inflorescent gladiolus flowers in concert played important roles in guiding the thrip flying toward them. These attraction factors of gladiolus flowers to the thrip are discussed.
花薊馬Thrips hawiiensis（M.）對某些唐菖蒲品系之花朵有特殊的偏好性。無論是田間或者實驗室試驗均顯示花薊馬最喜歡 T512品種。White Prosperity 和 T609 亦有良好的引誘效果，但其它品系，如： Red Beauty , Applause , Albert 和 Peter Pears 的引誘效果不佳；結果以引誘率，薊馬蟲數／花或薊馬蟲數／花穗，表示之。當花薊馬在挑選某些唐菖蒲品系時。花的氣味是其判斷的主要因素之一。顏色可能也是重要因素。在唐菖蒲的花序中，盛開的花朵對花薊馬有強烈的引誘效果，但半開者和花苞則不太有吸引力。盛開花朵的形狀、鮮明的顏色對比、特別的氣味與花蜜可能是吸引大量的花薊馬飛向它們的主因。本文著重於探討這些引誘因素和花薊馬間的關係。
