Liriomyza sativae Blanchard and trifolii (Burgess) are two highly polyphagous pests that successively invaded China in the 1990s 2000s, respectively, threatening vegetable horticultural plants. Competitive displacement of L. by occurred during expansion process latter southern China, while whether can expand their range to northern remains unclear. Overwintering cold tolerance capacity largely ...

In the present study, Y-tube olfactometric assays demonstrated that headspace volatile extracts collected from leaf miner-damaged, or artificially damaged, bean plants were more attractive to naive females of the parasitoid insect Opius dissitus than those collected from healthy plants. Headspace extracts from both Liriomyza huidobrensis and Liriomyza sativae second-instar larvae-damaged beans ...

The polyphagous agromyzid fly, Liriomyza trifolii, is a significant and important insect pest of ornamental and vegetable crops worldwide. The adaptation of insects to different environments is facilitated by heat shock proteins (HSPs), which play an important role in acclimation to thermal stress. In this study, we cloned and characterized five HSP-encoding genes of L. trifolii (Lthsp20, Lthsp...

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 cyantranilipro...

Quantifying detectability of exotic pests in local contexts is crucial for designing efficient and regionally relevant surveillance guidelines. Ironically, areas most need preparedness advice, the study hampered by pest's absence. Here, we present a mock method whereby pest symptoms are simulated on plants, detection probability visual inspection practitioners measured across range high priorit...

Hydrogenated cardanol derivatives were evaluated as potentially active insecticides/repellent agents against insect pests such Liriomyza sativae (Diptera: Agromyzidae) and Bemisia tabaci biotype B (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). Benzoylation, acetylation, methylation made on the hydrogenated aromatic ring to synthesize ingredients with potential insecticide action. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectra ...
