Susceptibility of Liriomyza sativae Blanchard (Diptera: Agromyzidae) melon populations to abamectin, cyromazine, and cyantraniliprole

Melon is one of the most exported fruits from Brazil. The leafminer fly, Liriomyza sativae (Blanchard) (Diptera: Agromyzidae), major problems that negatively interfere in productivity increase this crop. Chemical control adopted method for pest; however, producers have reported reduced susceptibility to insecticides. Thus, study aimed evaluate L. larvae abamectin, cyromazine, and cyantraniliprole populations collected two melon crop-producing regions Northeast Brazil (Juazeiro, BA Icapuí, CE). insecticide's lethal concentration 50 (LC50) was obtained laboratory using leaf dip bioassay with larvae. No difference observed LC50 between three Both showed low variation cyantraniliprole.
