Detrimental effects of species of Tenthredinidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera) on plants and control methods
Abstract
Tenthredinidae family is included in suborder Symphyta of order Hymenoptera (Insecta). The species belonging to this family is harmful by feeding on leaf, stem, bud, flower, etc., of plants. The detrimental effects of these species are especially constituted by larval forms. Larva damages plants by eating
plant tissue, forming gal and opening galleries in leaf, stem and bud of plants. These harmful species can be controlled with biological, cultural and chemical methods. The control methods change according to the species. However, although chemical control is harmful for nature on a large scale, it
is generally being used.
