Factors Influencing Adult Emergence from Diapausing Sorghum Midge, Contarinia sorghicola (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae

Biology and Seasonal Abundance of Hymenopterous Parasitoids of Sorghum Midge (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)

Within-Field Distribution of the Sunflower Midge (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae)

The sunßower midge, Contarinia schulzi Gagné (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), is a pest of cultivated sunßower (Helianthus annuus L.). Larval feeding can cause damage and yield loss to the sunßower head. Adult emergence is extended and larvae are well protected in the sunßower receptacle, making chemical control methods difÞcult and expensive. Sunßower midge enter sunßower Þelds at the edges but Þeldw...

New knowledge on the sorghum midge, Stenodiplosis sorghicola Coquilett 1899 (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), in the south of France

Complete floret abortion on sorghum panicles due to sorghum midge (Stenodiplosis sorghicola) infestation was observed just after flowering onset in early August (2008) in fields near Montpellier (France). With the aim of controlling these infestations, mathematical models simulating the biological development of the insect as a function of temperature, which were developed in Texas (USA) and ad...
