Abstract
Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande) is the most important pest in the Mexican lemon crop in Michoacán, and its control is based on the use of insecticides; however, nowadays, thrips populations are constant in the orchards. To understand how climatic conditions influence the population dynamics of the pest and its natural enemies, the population density of thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) and its natural enemies was correlated with temperature (minimum, medium and maximum) and precipitation for four years. A positive correlation was found between the population density of F. occidentalis with mean and maximum temperature, and a positive correlation between the population density of natural enemies with precipitation and minimum temperature. These results highlight the impact of environmental factors on the regulation of thrips populations and beneficial organisms. Based on our results, there will be a greater increase in thrips populations and a decrease in beneficial insect populations in the Apatzingán Valley citrus growing area. It is necessary to change the current phytosanitary management for an integrated management that strengthens the role of natural enemies in pest control.
