15.01.2022 Serpentine leafminer NSW & QLD - current situation There has been confirmed detections of serpentine leafminer (also known as Pea leafminer) Liriomyza huidobrensis on field grown vegetables in Western Sydney in NSW and Kalbar in the Fassifern Valley region of QLD. Serpentine leafminer is an exotic leafminer species that poses a significant economic threat to Australia's horticulture and nursery production plant industries.... It has a wide host range of plant species, which includes broccoli, beet, spinach, peas, beans, potatoes and cut flowers. Severe unmanaged infestations of serpentine leafminer may result in premature leaf drop, poor growth, and reduced crop yields. The pest is wind-borne and eggs, larvae and pupae can be spread through the movement of plant material, soil, clothing and equipment. Serpentine leafminer damage is primarily caused by larvae feeding under the surface of leaves. Typically, this feeding causes long, narrow, serpentine-shaped 'mines' which appear as white or grey lines on leaves with dampened black and dried brown areas. Learn more > https://bit.ly/3q1NYrb
