Development and reproductive performance of Agromyza frontella (Rondani) (Diptera: Agromyzidae) on an alternate Host, Medicago lupulina L.

Summary

Published in Annals of the Entomological Society of America 78: 14-19

ln laboratory studies larval development and total mortality of Agromyza frontella on hop medic, Medicago lupulina, were similar to previously reported values on alfalfa, M. sativa. However, pupal development was longer and both pupal weight and total fecundity were somewhat lower than for alfalfa-reared individuals. Nevertheless hop medic is a suitable alternate host and, given its widespread occurrence throughout northeastern North America, could play a role in the dynamics of established and expanding populations of A. frontella, particularly when alfalfa is unavailable.
