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

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

Impact of soil type, moisture, and depth on swede midge (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) pupation and emergence.

Contarinia nasturtii (Kieffer) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), a common insect pest in Europe and a new invasive pest in North America, causes severe damage to cruciferous crops. Currently, many counties in Canada and the United States in which C. nasturtii has not been previously reported are at risk of being infested by C. nasturtii. Effectiveness of chemical control is limited, especially under hi...

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...
