Abstract
The reproduction period of overwintered adults of yellow tea thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) was investigated in tea groves and adjacent bigleaf podocarps trees (Podocorpus marcrophyllus). Overwintered adult S. dorsalis females started egg development from late March to early April while inhabiting tea groves that sprout in late March. First-generation larvae were found in the tea groves from late April to early May, and adults began to emerge in mid-May. First-generation larvae were barely detected in bigleaf podocarps trees that sprouted from mid- to late April. First-generation adults moved to bigleaf podocarp trees in mid-May, and second-generation larvae occurred from late May to early June.
