Insecticide susceptibility of the stone leek leafminer, Liriomyza chinensis Kato (Diptera: Agromyzidae)

Molecular Survey for the Invasive Leafminer Pest Liriomyza huidobrensis (Diptera: Agromyzidae) in California Uncovers Only the Native Pest Liriomyza langei.

Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) is a highly destructive invasive leafminer pest currently causing extensive damage to vegetable and horticultural crops around the world. Liriomyza langei Frick is a leafminer pest native to California that cannot currently be morphologically distinguished from L. huidobrensis. We used a DNA-barcoding approach, a published PCR-RFLP method, and a new multiplex ...

Insecticide Use and the Ecology of Invasive Liriomyza Leafminer Management

Kairomone attractant for the leafmining fly, Liriomyza bryoniae (Diptera, Agromyzidae).

A field test carried out in an industrial greenhouse in Lithuania revealed the attractiveness of synthetic methyl salicylate (MeSa) towards an economically important leafmining tomato pest, Liriomyza bryoniae (Kaltenbach) (Diptera, Agromyzidae). The behavioural reaction of the flies depended very much on the simultaneous presence of both olfactory and visual stimuli. The attractiveness depended...

BIOLOGICAL CONTROLÐPARASITES AND PREDATORS Endoparasitoid Assemblage of the Pea Leafminer, Liriomyza huidobrensis (Diptera: Agromyzidae), in Southern Ontario

The pea leafminer, Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) (Diptera: Agromyzidae), is an important pest of leafy greens in the Holland Marsh, Bradford, Ontario, and was Þrst discovered in this area in 1998. A 2-yr study was undertaken to document the parasitoid complex of this recent addition to leafminer guild in Ontario and examine endoparasitoids reared from pea leafminer pupae collected from eig...

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...
