Abstract

The current study on mungbean thrips in the northern region of Gujarat, India, has identified four species: Thrips parvispinus (Karny), Megalurothrips usitatus (Bagnall), Megalurothrips sp., and Thrips palmi Karny. These species were discovered and identified from mungbean flowers during the 2021–22 and 2022–23 investigation periods. Notably, Thrips parvispinus (Karny), an invasive species, was found infesting mungbeans in Gujarat and India for the first time. Thrips are notorious pests that attack various crops, causing significant damage and economic losses. Inventory data helps researchers study thrips behavior, lifecycles, hosts, and control methods, which is crucial for developing resistant crops and refining pest control. Regular updates enable monitoring of thrips populations, allowing early detection and timely intervention to prevent widespread infestations.
