THE ROLE OF ENTOMOPHAGES IN MANAGING THE NUMBER OF MINERS (LIRIOMYZA SATIVA BLANCH)

The article presents the results of studies on the use of parasites of the species Diglyphus isaea and Dacnusa siberica to reduce the number of Liriomyza sativae Blanch (tomato leaf miner), which is widespread among melons and vegetables. We found that the species Dacnusa siberica is more spread, than the species Diglyphus. The degree of fertilization of parasites was different. 65-70 % of the parasites of Dacnusa siberica flew from the larva to the tomato leaves.
