Cryptic Diversity Hidden within the Leafminer Genus Liriomyza (Diptera: Agromyzidae)
Leafminer insects of the genus Liriomyza are small flies whose larvae feed on the internal tissue of some of the most important crop plants for the human diet. Several of these pest species are highly uniform from the ...
Grain yield losses due to leaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina R.) in winter- and spring-planted chickpea in Morocco
Chickpea leaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina R.) is one of the main insect pests damaging chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) inthe Mediterranean region.This study assessed yield losses caused by the chickpea leafminer on four improved ...
First Report of Cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus Affecting Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in Sudan
A total of 204 chickpea samples with symptoms typical of virus infection including stunting, yellowing, necrosis, reddening, and tip wilting were collected during February 2013 and March 2015 from 14 chickpea fields located ...
Harnessing food legumes for climate-smart agriculture
Food legumes are particularly suited to sustainable agriculture. ICARDA is developing and disseminating improved varieties and production technologies so farmers can benefit from the increasing demand for these climate-smart ...
Field Assessment of the Mass Trapping Technique for the Control of the Chickpea Leaf Miner Liriomyza cicerina
This work evaluated the chickpea leaf miner Liriomyza cicerina mass trapping technique as an alternative to insecticide spraying. A trap density of 2000 per ha was used. Trials were conducted in Beja during 2015 and 2016 ...
Parasitoids of chickpea leafminer Liriomyza cicerina (Diptera: Agromyzidae) and their parasitism rate on chickpea fields in North Tunisia
In recent years, as a consequence of climatic changes, the leafminer Liriomyza cicerina had emerged as a serious pest in chickpea crops causing considerable damage in Tunisia. Thus, the search of control methods is necessary. ...
First Report on the Occurrence of the Braconid parasitoid Opius monilicornis on the Chickpea Leaf Miner Liriomyza cicerina in Tunisia
Surveys were conducted during 2016 and 2017 in chickpea crops to document the parasitoid species of the chickpea leaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina) in Beja and Kef sites (north-west of Tunisia). One braconid wasp species ...
Application of molecular markers for crop improvement
Characterization of cereal cultivars by DNA-markers provides powerful tool to precise the identification and quantify the genetic diversity and to estimate the phylogenetic relationship among genotypes in many crop species. ...
