Abstract
spp. in leaves of D. carota (Apiaceae) in Brazil.The study was conducted in commercial carrot plantations (cv ‘Juliana’) in the municipality of Rio Paranaiba and Sao Gotardo, Minas Gerais, Brazil (19° 12’ 57.91” S, 46° 13’ 41.08” W), with an average temperature of 26.32 °C, 45-98% RH, and 1,321 mm annual rainfall and an average altitude of 1,250 m. Sixty carrot plants were selected in three plantations. Sampling was conducted during the drier months (July to September) and raining months (January to March). The evaluated characteristics were the numbers of mined leaflets per plant and mines per plant. The number of mined leaflets and mines per plant were evaluated by performing a direct counting of these features throughout the plant.During the sampling period,

The Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard), L. trifolii (Burgess), and L. sativae (Blanchard) have been recorded as the most important leafminer pests in vegetable production systems in word (Guantai et al, 2015).
