program that decreases the number of insecticide applications, rotates products with 

 different modes of action and incorporates biological control would be more effective. 



Acknowledgements 



The authors gratefully acknowledge the participation of several greenhouse growers 

 from the Niagara region of Ontario. We also thank Dr. Scott Ferguson (Syngenta Crop 

 Protection, Florida US) for providing the leafminer reference strain and advice; and, Kelly 

 O'Keefe for technical assistance. Funding for this project was provided through a CORD 

 IV Grant to Flowers Canada Ontario and a NSERC Industrial Postgraduate Scholarship 

 sponsored by Flowers Canada Ontario to L. Conroy.
