Evaluation of Resistance of Cucumber Cultivars to the Vegetable Leafminer (Liriomyza sativae Blanchard) (Diptera: Agromyzidae) in Greenhouse

Abstract: The leafminer, Liriomyza sativae Blanchard, is distributed around the world and is an important pest of vegetables and ornamentals. Given the resistance potential of the leafminer to current insecticides, the use of resistant plant cultivars and parasitoids could be effective integrated pest management (IPM) strategies against it. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is a preferred host for this insect. Seventeen cultivars of cucumber have been evaluated to study resistance mechanisms to L. sativae. All cucumber cult… Show more

“…Use of host genetic resistance is an alternative strategy to chemical for leafminer management and resistant varieties were recognized as the most economical method to control leafminer in vegetables (Basij et al 2011). Evaluations of germplasm for leafminer resistance have been conducted in vegetables.…”

“…A leaf miner is defined as an insect that feeds within the leaf tissues for at least part of its life cycle (Hering 1951). During feeding the larvae form tunnels, or mines, which are feeding channels within the parenchyma (between the epidermal tissues) of infested leaves (Figure 1) (Hering 1951;Basij et al 2011). With the exception of oviposition sites, both the epidermis and the outer wall remain intact during larval development (Hering 1951;Weintraub et al 2017).…”

“…The use of host genetic resistance is recommended as an alternative strategy to the application of insecticide products, with resistant cultivars recognized as a more economical control method (BASIJ et al, 2011). Other advantages of this method include reduced damage to the environment, less technical knowledge on the part of the farmer to apply the method, and integration possibilities with other control methods (GIRÃO FILHO et al, 2012).…”
