Morphological and genetic characteristics of Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) (Diptera: Agromyzidae) infesting potato crops in Korea

Thermal requirements and development of the Korean population of the potato leafminer, Liriomyza huidobrensis (Diptera: Agromyzidae)

“…Populations of L huidobrensis have recently been reported in Korea, and Maharjan et al (2014) noted dense infestations of L. huidobrensis in Korean potato fields. Based on genetic information, the population found in Korea is closely related to the Chinese population (Maharjan et al, 2014), and the insect is spreading across Korea from south to north (Maharjan and Jung, unpublished data).…”

“…There is potential threat of distribution expansion of L. huidobrensis in Korea where is the hot spot of climate change with over 1.7°C increase for last 100 years (Maharjan et al, 2014), as it can survive in warmer regions even though acclimated to a cooler climate (Milla and Reitz, 2005). This study is the first to examine the influence of temperature on the development of the Korean population of L. huidobrensis.…”

“…The potato leafminer, Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard), is an important pest of potato throughout the world, including Korea (Spencer, 1973;Parrella, 1987;Maharjan et al, 2014). Adult female damages potato leaves through feeding punctures and larvae do so by mining leaves (Weintraub and Horowitz, 1995).…”

Mass production of Diglyphus isaea (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), a biological control agent of a Korean population of potato leaf miner Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) (Diptera: Agromyzidae)

“…; Suh & Kwon ; Maharjan et al. ). Liriomyza huidobrensis has been recently noticed and considered as an emerging new pest in potato in Korea (Maharjan et al.…”
