Abstract
Partial mortality budgets were developed for Liriomyza trifolii (Burgess) in field-grownbell peppers (Capsicum annuum L.). Parasitism of L. trifolii larvae by sixparasite species was a significant mortality factor. However, L. trifolii larval and pupal mortality caused by other factors was equally important. When parasites were excluded, L. trifolii mortality was caused by unexplained pupal mortality and, to a lesser extent, unexplained larval mortality. No one mortality factor measured here, by itself or in combination, was responsible for regulation of L. trifolii populations. Parasitism of L. trifolii eggs and pupae were not observed in these studies.
