  Vegetable leafminer Liriomyza sativae Blanchard (Dip.: Agromyzidae) is a serious pest on cucumber in the greenhouses of Iran. The high densities of the pest might be resulted in sever damages to the plants. To control the pest, farmers treated their plants several times with different insecticides. Regarding adverse effects of pesticides in the present study feeding and oviposition preference of Liriomyza sativae on greenhouse cucumber cultivars have been studied. The experiment conducted in the greenhouse under condition of 27±2ºC, 60±5% RH and 16L: 8D. Using 7 cucumber varieties with 4 replications. Overall, the results indicated that no variety had the highest resistsnce or lowest susceptibility, But using varieties with the few feeding punctures and larval mines (Janett), could be suggested on IPM program aginst this pest.

  Jasmine whitefly Aleuroclava jasmini, is an economic serious pest with high level of yield damage in citrus orchards which is mainly controlled by chemical methods. Planting the resistant plants could be a very helpful replacement method for chemical control which neither has the negative impact of the chemical control on environment, nor impacts on the other controlling methods. Olive trees belonging to Oleaceae and as a very important host for the whitefly species has been selected in this experiment. Oviposition rate of the female jasmine whiteflies were counted daily on two main olive varieties, Yellow and Manzanila, under 27±2 °c, RH=60±5% and photoperiod of 16L:8D. The results showed that higher oviposition rate on Manzanila proved that it would be a more suitable host for jasmine host. The obtained results would be applied in jasmine whitefly management programs in Tehran city.   Manuscript profile
