Abstract:Accurate identification of agricultural pests is a major component of integrated pest management. The seedcorn maggot,Delia platura(Diptera: Anthomyiidae), is a cosmopolitan polyphagous pest species which may be found in high numbers in numerous crops. Two morphologically identical genetic lines ofD. platura(H- and N- lines) with distinct distributions were recently identified. However, no study to date has investigated the reproductive compatibility of the two lines and thus the possibility that they may actu… Show more
