Abstract: Onion (Allium cepa L.) is widely cultivated species of the genus Allium. Yield losses in onion vary from 10–15% annually in India, depending upon the season and the prevalence of pests. Five different coloured sticky boards viz. green, yellow, orange, violet and white of 20 × 15 cm size smeared with sticky material and tested for the efficacy. Green coloured sticky boards were found effective in attracting T. tabaci than other boards.
Keywords: Onion, Thrips tabaci, sticky trap.
