Abstract

A significant association between Liriomyza huidobrensis leafminers and Alternaria solani fungus is reported here for the first time in a commercial potato (Solanum tuberosum) field in Brazil. We found that there was a high correlation (0.84) between the number of L. huidobrensis mines and A. solani lesions on infected plants.


 

Sumário

Uma associação significante entre a mosca minadora Liriomyza huidobrensis e o fungo Alternaria solani é reportado aqui pela primeira vez em campo de batata comercial (Solanum tuberosum) no Brasil. Nós verificamos alta correlação especial (0,84) entre o número de minas de L. huidobrensis e as lesões de A. solani em plantas infectadas.
