Impact of interspecific interactions among parasitoids on inoculative biological control of leafminers attacking chrysanthemum
Indigenous natural enemies occur within field grown crops at varying densities dependent upon a variety of other biotic and abiotic parameters. This natural control often does not provide adequate suppression, which results in the application of other remedial pest management solutions including …

Fine structure of the ovipositor and studies of feeding and oviposition site selection by the serpentine leafminer, Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) (Diptera: Agromyzidae)
Ovipositors of female leafminers were examined microscopically to locate and describe types of sensory receptors present. Two basic types were found: trichoid sensilla and basiconic sensilla. These receptors are believed to function as mechano- and chemoreceptors to evaluate the suitability of a …

Hostplant-Related Causes of Unequal Parasitoid Exploitation of Two Leafminers, Tildenia Georgei and Tildenia Inconspicuella (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), on Solanaceous Weeds (Defensive Behavior, Life History, Plant Trichomes, Species Richness, Enemy-Free Space)
Two leafminers (Tildenia georgei on groundcherry, Physalis heterophylla var. ambigua, and Tildenia inconspicuella on horsenettle, Solanum carolinense), sampled in a large old field in Mason Co., Illinois, U.S.A., June-August, 1977-1980, differed markedly in vulnerability to parasitoids. Only two …

The investigation of kairomones and photosensitizers affecting Liriomyza bryoniae (Diptera, Agromyzidae) /
… (photosensitizers). Knowing that tomato leafminers locate and recognize the suitable host-plants by plant-emitted volatiles, such plant-origin compounds (kairomones) could be used for insects’ attraction to the bait with photosensitizer. The aim of the study was to determine kairomones …
