“…Therefore, this is the main pest species in the melon production areas of the Jaguaribe-Açu agricultural region, and corroborates the findings of previous studies (Costa -Lima et al, 2009;Araújo et al, 2013;Ferreira, 2014).…”

“…During its cultivation, melon is attacked by pests, mainly by the leafminers Liriomyza sativae Blanchard and Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) (Diptera: Agromyzidae) ARAUJO et al, 2013). High leafminer populations are a major problem to melon production in northeastern Brazil because their larvae consume the leaf's photosynthetic area, reducing the sugar content of the fruit (ºBrix) (ARAUJO et al, 2007;ARAUJO et al, 2013).…”

“…The leafminer Liriomyza sativae Blanchard (Diptera: Agromyzidae) is an important pest in melon (Cucumis melo L.) crops, due to its larvae feeding on the foliar parenchyma, reducing the photosynthetic ability of the plant and, consequently, the total soluble solid level (ºBrix) of its fruits (ARAUJO et al, 2013).…”

Opius scabriventris (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is considered an important parasitoid of the leafminer Liriomyza sativae (Diptera: Agromyzidae) in the main melon (Cucumis melo L.) producing areas in Brazil. However, there is no information on the influence of trichomes on melon plant leaves on the parasitoids’ actions. Therefore, the aim of this investigation was to relate the influence of columnar trichome density on melon cultivars in the parasitism of L. sativae larvae by O. scabriventris. The study was conducted in laboratory conditions, in which melon cultivars were infested and the leafminer larvae were subjected to the parasitism. The results demonstrated that trichome density can influence the parasitism of L. sativae larvae by O. scabriventris. Among the studied materials, Piel de Sapo cultivar showed the highest density of trichomes in the leaves (534 trichomes/cm2) and the lowest parasitism (20%).
