Thrips populations were sampled from potato in north western hills, central and plateau regions and their
association with Groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV) was studied. We report the occurrence of Haplothrips tenuipennis
Bagnall on potato for the first time from north western hills of India. The thrips was recorded from Shimla, Kufri and
Fagu in Himachal Pradesh. The abundance of this species was higher in Shimla followed by Fagu and Kufri. Field
collected populations of H. tenuipennis were tested for GBNV and 53, 35, 48% of them tested positive from Kufri, Fagu and
Shimla locations, respectively. Also, 36.36 % potato samples from Shimla were found positive for GBNV followed by 25
% and 20% in Fagu and Kufri, respectively. The importance of the vector-virus complex under field conditions remains to
be studied. Therefore, present reports only the occurrence of H. tenuipennis for the first time on potato in India.
