ROBLES-BERMUDEZ, Agustín et al. Traps treated with Pimpinella anisum, as attractant of thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in rose. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2011, vol.2, n.spe3, pp.555-563. ISSN 2007-0934.

The cultivation of roses is one of the main activities of the flower-area from the region of Villa Guerrero, Mexico State. The thrips are a complex pest insect species that affect the quality of the cut-rose's buds, making damage of distortion on the petals and sucking the cell's contents, causing a deterioration of the esthetic quality of the bud. Derived from their short biological cycle, the misuse of chemical molecules during their control and therefore the ability to develop resistance, the trips are the second most important pest of roses after the red spider. Therefore, ecological and sustainable alternatives to control this plague during the rose's production process are needed; also it is necessary to get specific sampling techniques for the study this kind of insects. The objective was to evaluate the effect of blue traps impregnated with different concentrations of anise, Pimpinella anisum L. for capturing trips, during six weeks involved in the occurrence greatest period of this pest in the cultivation of cut-roses cv. Polo^®, in El Islote, Villa Guerrero, Mexico State. Eleven treatments were established with four replicates each, including a control without impregnation. The anise fruit extract at 50 g L-¹ of water, showed an average of 76 thrips captured by trap and the control 40 thrips by trap, which represents 90% increase in contrast with the blue trap without impregnation.
