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 ...

The role of induced responses of tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum, in interspecific interactions between two polyphagous herbivores, the silverleaf whitefly, Bemisia argentifolii (WF), and the vegetable leafminer, Liriomyza trifolii (LM), was characterized in laboratory and field experiments. Feeding by LMs and WFs induced local and systemic production of putative defensive proteins, i.e., chiti...

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...
