the agromyzid leafminers, liriomyza sativae blanchard and l. trifolii (burgess) (dip-tera: agromyzidae) are major pests that attack vegetables in varamin, tehran province. the parasitoids (hymenoptera: eulophidae) of these pests were investigated during 2003. the leafminer infested leaves were collected from different host plants, in particular cu-cumber (cucumis sativus l.,) and preserved unde...

Effects of the fungal endophytes Beauveria bassiana (isolates ICIPE 279, G1LU3, S4SU1) and Hypocrea lixii (isolate F3ST1) on the life-history of Phaedrotoma scabriventris and Diglyphus isaea, parasitoids of the pea leafminer Liriomyza huidobrensis, were studied in the laboratory. Parasitoids were allowed to parasitize 2(nd) and 3(rd) instar L. huidobrensis larvae reared on endophytically-inocul...

Two natural enemy species are frequently released simultaneously to control one pest species in augmentative biological control in greenhouses. Intraguild predation (IGP) and interspecific competition between natural enemies might affect the biological control. IGP occurs between two parasitoids, between one parasitoid and one predator, and between two predators. Although unidirectional IGP has...

a survey was conducted to identify parasitoids of leafminers in shiraz region during spring 2005. the specimens of the eulophid parasitoid wasp, diglyphus poppoea walker, were reared from wheat leaves infested by agromyza ambigua fallã©n (dip.: agromyzidae) larvae in pole-fasa, zarghan and zafarabad regions. this parasitoid, which is recorded for the first time from iran, was identified by genc...
