Onion Thrips,Thrips tabaci  (Thripidae: Thysanoptera)

  • It is a major cosmopolitan thrips injurious to onion and garlic. Nymphs and adults remain in dense at leaf bases and whorls of onion and feed by lacerating the tissues and imbibing the oozing cell sap. 
  • Infested onion develops a spotted appearance on the leaves; subsequently turning into pale white blotches. Then leaves dry from tip to downward. 

Onion fly, Delia antiqua (Muscidae: Diptera)

  • Small maggots burrow down into the underground portion of stem and often into the onion bulb. which results in rotting of the bulbs in storage. Due to burrowing action, the plant withers off. The damage predisposes for soft rot. 
  • Adult flies are slender, greyish in colour having large wings. Eggs are laid on soil near the base of onion plants. pupation takes place in soil.
