Abstract
In 1988-90, F. occidentalis populations were studied in North Sardinian commercial flower
growings, both in the open and under glass. The data reported include white, yellow and red
chromotropic trap catches and infestation levels on roses and carnations. The results are also
reported of an extensive investigation into the diffusion of this thrips, and consequent damage,
throughout the whole island
