Phytophagous thrips have become an increasingly significant pest in soybean fields in the south-central region of Córdoba, due to rising population levels and associated damage. Chromatic traps are emerging as an effective tool for early detection and monitoring of these insects. This study evaluated the efficiency of sticky chromatic traps of different colors (blue, white, yellow, and violet) for capturing adult thrips in two commercial soybean fields, one during the 2019/20 growing season and another during 2020/21. A completely randomized experimental design with six replications was used, with traps mounted on wooden stakes at the crop canopy level and adjusted weekly. From the V5 to R7 growth stages, the number of thrips captured on each trap was recorded weekly using a stereomicroscope (4X). In both growing seasons, traps captured high numbers of adult thrips belonging to economically important species complexes. No significant differences were observed among trap colors during the initial weeks; however, from the fifth week in 2019/20 and the sixth week in 2020/21 onward, violet and blue traps showed significantly higher captures. On most sampling dates, blue traps recorded the highest number of thrips. These results highlight blue sticky traps as an effective option for early infestation detection and population monitoring of thrips, representing a valuable tool for pest surveillance programs in soybean crops in this region.
