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...

Under field conditions, species displacements have occurred in different directions between the same invasive species of leafminers (Diptera: Agromyzidae). Liriomyza sativae (Blanchard) was displaced by L. trifolii (Burgess) in the western United States, with evidence suggesting that lower insecticide susceptibility of L. trifolii is a factor. However, in Japan, the opposite has occurred, as L....

The release rhythm of volatiles is an important physiological characteristic of plants, because the timing of release can affect the function of each particular volatile compound. However, most studies on volatiles release rhythms have been conducted using model plants, rather than crop plants. Here, we analyzed the variations in volatile compounds released from healthy and leafminer (Liriomyza...

Bu çalışma 2019-2020 yıllarında Tire ve Ödemiş (İzmir) ilçelerinde birinci ikinci ürün patates ile domates alanlarında Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)’ nın doğal düşmanlarının saptanması amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Örneklemeler haftalık olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Doğal düşmanlar atrap kültüre alma yöntemiyle elde edilmiştir. Birçok predatör parazitoit düşman türü saptanmıştır. ...

Recent studies on plants genetically modified in jasmonic acid (JA) signalling support the hypothesis that the jasmonate family of oxylipins plays an important role in mediating direct and indirect plant defences. However, the interaction of two modes of defence in tritrophic systems is largely unknown. In this study, we examined the preference and performance of a herbivorous leafminer (Liriom...
