Population dynamic of the safflower fly, Acanthiophilus helianthi Rossi (diptera: tephritidae) in Gachsaran Region, Iran

Safflower fly, Acanthiophilus helianthi Rossiis one of the most important pests of safflower in most parts of the country. Losses caused by larval feeding lead to disrupted plant activities, reduction in flower buds and ultimately decreased quality and quantity of the crop. In order to study seasona...
