“…Two leaf miners were detected, including Liriomyza bryoniae on squash crop and Phytomyza horticola on tomato crop. They preferred median level leaves for their larvae throughout the growth season (Kathiar et al, 2018a). The highest average of infested leaves of eggplant (Solanum melongena) was 6.67 leaves and the highest average of tunnels by leaf miner was 9.87 tunnels.…”

A field study was conducted in the fields of the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences at the University of Baghdad in Al-Jadriya during the 2018 agricultural season. The objective was to survey the population densities of pests affecting broccoli (Brassica oleracea). The results revealed that the broccoli plants in the open field were affected by various pests. On September 24, the highest density of two-spotted red mite (Tetranychus urticae) eggs reached 35 eggs per leaf. On November 12, the highest density of mite nymphs was recorded at 28 nymphs per leaf. The leaf miner, Liriomyza sativae, exhibited the highest density of 23 tunnels per leaf on September 17. Additionally, the highest density of whitefly nymphs (Bemisia tabaci) was observed on October 1 and November 17, reaching 29 nymphs per leaf. The results also indicated the presence of the aphid lion, Chrysoperla carnea, as a natural enemy. Furthermore, the parasitoid Diglyphus isaea was found on the leaf miner, while the parasitoid Eretmocerus mundus was identified on the whitefly. Therefore, understanding the species of pests and their density attacking agricultural crops is crucial. This knowledge allows for the release of natural enemies in the field to mitigate pest infestations.

“…Liriomyza sativae Blanchard (Diptera: Agromyzidae) is a polyphagous insect pest that harms vegetables and ornamental crops worldwide (Johnson, Welter, Toscano, Ting, & Trumble, 1983; Murphy & Lasalle, 1999). As an obligatory internal plant feeder, the larvae feed on leaf mesophyll by mining the leaves, whereas female adults puncture the foliage surface with their ovipositors for feeding and oviposit in these punctures, causing a decrease in photosynthesis and an increase in bacterial and fungal diseases (Banchio, Valladares, Defago, Palacios, & Carpinella, 2003; Kathiar, Flaih, Al‐Khazraji, & Ismael, 2018; Parrella, Jones, Youngman, & Lebeck, 1985; Salama, Ismail, Fouda, Ebadah, & Shehata, 2015; Zehnder & Trumble, 1984). The overuse of chemical insecticides has caused the rapid development of resistance to these chemicals (Askari‐Saryazdi, Hejazi, Ferguson, & Rashidi, 2015; Devkota et al, 2016; Wei, Lei, Nauen, Cai, & Gao, 2014).…”

The vegetable leafminer (VLM) Liriomyza sativae Blanchard is a troublesome pest of vegetable and ornamental plants worldwide. Resistance development and environmental pollution from the overuse of chemical insecticides have driven interest in alternative control strategies for this pest. Secondary metabolites derived from aromatic nonhost plants are recognised components of the plant defence system against herbivores. The essential oils derived from aromatic plants not only repel insects but also have toxic effects against various insect pests, yet little is known about their effects against leafminers. The major constituents of the essential oil extracted from rosemary leaves by hydrodistillation were identified by GC–MS. The behavioural responses of VLM adults to the rosemary essential oil (REO) were explored with Y‐tube olfactometer experiments, and the oviposition and feeding deterrent effects of REO against adults were studied using no‐choice cage tests. Dipping methods were used to determine the toxicity of REO and Matrine (a commercial botanical pesticide) against VLM eggs, larvae and pupae, while glass‐vial bioassays were used for adults. The identified major constituents of the cineoliferum chemotype of REO were 1,8‐cineole (23.53%), pinene (23.45%), (S)‐(−)‐verbenone (12.84%) and borneol (7.47%). REO repelled leafminer adults. Sublethal concentrations of REO deterred oviposition and feeding by adults. Adults were more susceptible than other developmental stages to toxicity of REO and Matrine. Female adults were more sensitive than males, based on EC50 values at 24 and 48 hr after treatment. Rosemary essential oil is a behaviour‐modifying stimulus potentially useful in a “push‐pull” strategy for L. sativae control, and as an alternative to synthetic chemical insecticides due to its low toxicity and high efficacy in the control of VLM.
