مسح و تشخيص أنواع صانعات أنفاق الأوراق من عائلة Agromyzidae على بعض النباتات في بغداد

Abstract EN

The study was conducted in the college of agriculture farm in Abu-Ghraib, Baghdad during 2014 to survey leaf miners of agromyzidae on some ornamentals, vegetables and weed plants.

Different plants infested with leaf miners were collected and identified based on taxonomic keys.

Results of the study confirmed the occurrence of two leaf miner species emerging from tunnels, chromatomyia horticola goureau and liriomyza sativa Blanchard.

Plant infestation appeared in the beginning of march until mid-April.

The study proved that the relative abundance of the species c.

horticola was 100% on al-sanaria (cineraria spp.), snapdragons (antirrhinum majus l.), common southistle (euphorbia spp.) And mallous (malva spp.), whereas the relative abundance of l.

Sativa was 100% on cucumber (cucumis sativus l.) And sweet clover (melilotus spp.).

The emergence rate of adults for the two species differed based on host plant, where the highest emergence rate of the species c.

horticola was on cineraria spp.

And euphorbia spp.

And reached 56.6 and 48.3%, respectively.

Whereas, the lowest emergence rate was on antirrhinum majus l.

And malva spp.

And reached 20%.

The emergence rate for l.

Sativa was 75% on cucumis sativus l.

And 15% on melilotus spp.
