| Sumario: | Thrips (Thysanoptera) constitute one of the pest groups of strawberry crops. The objectives of the study were to expand the information on the association of thrips species with the strawberry crop in Argentina by collecting these insects from leaves, flowers and fruits of the crop in the province of Jujuy to present an illustrated key for the determination of the species found in the country. Every fifteen days, between June and December 2022, sixty leaves, sixty flowers and sixty strawberry fruits were extracted from three farms in Jujuy. In total, 2279 thrips were collected, 41% in leaves, 39% in flowers and 20% in fruits, and the five species were identified: Caliothrips phaseoli Hood, Frankliniella gemina Bagnall, Frankliniella schultzei (Trybom), Neohydatothrips burungae (Hood) and Haplothrips gowdeyi (Franklin), in addition to Thrips tabaci Lind., Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), Scirtidothrips torquatus Hood and Haplothrips (Trybomiella) trellesi Moulton, cited for Argentina. In Jujuy, the dominant species in leaves was C. phaseoli, and F. schultzei stood out in flowers and fruits. The identification key will allow determining the species of thrips directly associated with strawberry cultivation in Argentina. |
