Leaf miners are serious pests of many cropping systems throughout the world. With increased resistance to pesticides new approaches are required to obtain high levels of control. The efficacy and compatibility of chemical insecticides and foliar applications of the entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema feltiae, were evaluated for the control of Liriomyza huidobrensis.
