Insecticidal Control of the American Serpentine Leafminer, 2014: Table 1

L. trifolii damages several ornamental and vegetable crops by feeding and ovipositing on leaves. Larval development by L. trifolii larvae within the leaves creates significant crop injury and results in characteristic “mines” on infested foliage. The objective of this study was to assess efficacy of spirotetramat and azadirachtin against leafminer larvae infesting Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse at the Texas Au0026M Biological Control Facility in College Station, Texas. L. trifolii used for this experiment were reared under laboratory conditions on bean plants ( Phaseolus vulgaris L. ) and Gerbera …
