Abstract
Greenhouse and laboratory studies were conducted to determine the effect of the physical injury inflicted by feeding soybean thrips, Sericothrips variabilis (Beach), on penetration of acifluorfen in soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill. In these studies, S. variabilis feeding injury was observed to have a minimal effect on 14C-acifluorfen penetration while attempts to simulate rasping type feeding injury increased 14C-acifluorfen penetration two to three fold. Scrutiny of the soybean leaflet tissues damaged by feeding S. variabilis , using both light and scanning electron microscopy, revealed that epidermal cells were collapsed and many mesophyll cells destroyed. There were no gashes on the leaf surface to indicate a rasping-sucking feeding behavior as described in the early literature. The primary damage on the surface of the leaves was holes, indicating S. variabilis has a piercing-sucking type feeding action. These observations on S. variabilts feeding support recent findings made for other thrips species. Based on these findings, we concluded that the piercing type feeding injury caused by S. variabilis does not produce wounds on the leaf surface of sufficient quantity or size-compared with wounds that were predicted for a rasping-sucking action-to allow a significant increase of 14C-acifluorfen into the soybean leaf.
