Citrus thrips Scirtothrips citri (Moulton) (Thys., Thripidae) scarring and navel orange fruit quality in California

Washington navel orange fruit (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck) which were scarred to various degrees by citrus thrips, Scirtothrips citri (Moulton), were evaluated for internal quality of the fruit. Consistent fruit quality trends were observed with more heavily scarred fruit showing more rapid weight loss, higher percent soluble solids, lower titratable acidity, and higher sugar:acid ratios. These data suggest that the indirect effect of citrus thrips feeding on immature fruit may be advancement of fruit maturity. Implications to citrus thrips management are discussed.
