Abstract

Virtually no research has been done on leaf waxiness in garlic and its relationship with thrips incidence. Therefore, given this fact, the present work was carried out with the objective of verifying the existence or not of this relationship. The thrips population is related to the epicuticular wax content in garlic leaves, because the greater the amount of wax in the leaves of a garlic cultivar, the greater the thrips population.
