Efficacy of Various Insecticides on Safflower fly, Acanthiophilus helianthi Rossi (Diptera: Tephritidae) in Kohgiloyeh and Boyerahmad Province (Iran).

Safflower fly (Acanthiophilus helianthi Rossi) is one of the main limiting factors to expand the production area of the crop in several countries. Since use of selective insecticides is one of the most important methods for pest management, we evaluated the efficacy of six insecticides against A. he...
