Liriomyza leafminers have occurred in Arizona for several years. It has only been recently that a new species, Liriomyza trifolii, has been reported on vegetable crops such as melons and lettuce. During the 1991 growing season, L. trifolii was observed causing damage to cotton for the first time in Central Arizona. Infestations occurring in Coolidge, had reached damaging levels and required control, whereas populations occurring in Yuma were very low. The impact of management and environmental factors responsible for the outbreaks of L. trifolii on cotton are discussed.
