March 23, 2021

About This Innovation

Leaf miners are the larvae of the dipterous insect of the genus Liriomyza. The most common species are the tomato leaf miner Liriomyza bryoniae, the serpentine leaf miner L. trifolii or the pea leaf miner L. huidobrensis, mines in the leaves of your vegetable or ornamental crops.icipe’s biological control tactics include the use of entomopathogenic fungi and fungal endophytes (F3ST1, G1LU3, S4SU1, ICIPE 279), and use of neem-based pesticides.
