DENSITY DEPENDENT PARASITISM AND HOST-KILLING OF LIRIOMYZA TRIFOLII (DIPTERA: AGROMYZIDAE) BY DIGLYPHUS INTERMEDIUS (HYMENOPTERA: EULOPHIDAE)

Feeding, oviposition and survival of Liriomyza trifolii (Diptera: Agromyzidae) on Bt and non-Bt cottons.

The effects of Bt transgenic cottons (Bt-I expressing cry1Ac and Bt-II expressing cry1Ab and cry2Ab or cry1Ab and cry1Fa) and non-Bt cottons on feeding, oviposition and longevity of adults, and development and survival of Liriomyza trifolii larvae were studied under laboratory conditions; and infestation on four Bt and two non-Bt cotton traits were investigated under field conditions. Laborator...

COMMODITY TREATMENT AND QUARANTINE ENTOMOLOGY Phytosanitary Irradiation of Liriomyza trifolii (Diptera: Agromyzidae)

Agromyzid leafminers are economic and quarantine pests of a variety of vegetables, ßowers, and ornamental foliage. Methyl bromide fumigation is often used as a phytosanitary treatment when quarantined agromyzids are found in shipped commodities; alternative treatments are sought. Ionizing radiation is a viable alternative that is increasing in use worldwide. A dose of 400 Gy is accepted by USDA...

Mitochondrial Phylogeography of the Vegetable Pest Liriomyza trifolii (Diptera: Agromyzidae): Diverged Clades and Invasive Populations

The leafmining ßyLiriomyza trifolii (Burgess) (Diptera: Agromyzidae) is an important pest of vegetable and cut-ßower crops. In recent decades, this species has become invasive, spreading from the Americas to the rest of the world. Despite substantial losses caused by Liriomyza leafminers, the systematics of these ßies has remained poorly understood because of their small size and morphological ...

A Temperature-Dependent Phenology Model for Liriomyza huidobrensis (Diptera: Agromyzidae)

Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) is an economically important and highly polyphagous worldwide pest. To establish a temperature-dependent phenology model, essential for understanding the development and growth of the pest population under a variety of climates and as part of a pest risk analysis, L. huidobrensis life-table data were collected under laboratory conditions at seven constant temp...
