Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Agromyza nana caused only insignificant damage to alfalfa, a reduction of leaf surface or biomass.
- Observation The frequency distribution of Agromyza nana mines fits a Poisson distribution.
- Mechanism The distribution of Agromyza nana eggs may indicate a possible invasion of alfalfa plots from nearby fields.
- Observation Shoot infestation of 20–25% caused 0,05% green mass loss in Luzerne (alfalfa).
- Observation Shoot infestation of 20–25% caused 0,1% leaf loss in Luzerne (alfalfa).
- Observation Shoot infestation of 20–25% caused 0,1% green mass loss in Rotklee (red clover).
- Observation Shoot infestation caused 0,3% leaf loss in Rotklee (red clover).
- Mechanism Parasites probably play a decisive role in regulating Agromyza nana populations.
