Abstract
Oviposition and development of Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) were studied in the laboratory in foliage of tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. `Walter,' a common nightshade, Solanum nodiflorum Jacq., common beggar-tick, Bidens alba (L.) DC., and downy groundcherry, Physalis pubescens L. Liriomyza trifolii oviposited successfully in foliage of all plant species. However, females exposed simultaneously to all plant species deposited more eggs per cm^2 of tomato foliage than per cm^2 of foliage of the other plant species. Differences among plant species in percent egg hatch, percent pupation or pupal weight of L. trifolii were not significant. Larvae pupated most rapidly from foliage of nightshade.
