Abstract
A program for control of a leafminer, Liriomyza sativae Blanchard, on tomato was evaluated for its effect on crop yield and the target species in the spring and fall of 1974. Although populations of leafminers were much higher than is usually tolerated by producers, there was no evidence from regression model analysis of the data that leafminers directly affect yield. Consequently, in seasons when leafminer damage is less than complete foliage loss, applications of chemicals may be unnecessary.
