The leafminer<\/strong> is a small white fly with a length between 0.14 and 0.5mm<\/strong>. Each adult female can put between 100 and 200 eggs<\/strong>, being its larva stage the most harmful form for the plants. The larvae form of this white fly is which feeds on the leaves and stems<\/strong> and harms our harvest, especially if we have young plants.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This insects are born, grow, reproduce and feed inside the leaves without damaging the leaf epidermis and even inside of young stems. The females of the leafminer lay the eggs inside the plant<\/strong> and when they hatch out, their larvae feed on inside the leaf, remaining wrapped between the two layers of the leaf making a series of galleries, undermining the inside of the leaf until they end completely with it: once devoured, it moves to other leaves to continue feeding.<\/p>\n

The temperature that facilitates its procreation<\/strong> is between 29 and 32 degrees and with a high percentage of humidity.<\/p>\n

In order to detect the leafminers we have to check out the leaves of our marijuana plants<\/strong> and observe if they have small tunnels or galleries inside the plants.<\/p>\n

These kind of fly defends itself very well from the natural defenses of the plant and is very selective, always preferring the layers with less cellulose inside the leaves it consumes.<\/p>\n

To eradicate this pest is not so easy if you are in an advanced state since fumigating the plant<\/strong> does not help because they are protected inside the leaf.<\/p>\n

A big plague can destroy your crop<\/strong> as long as it damages the leaves reducing photosynthesis capacity by having less vegetal mass useful for the light absortion.<\/p>\n

During spring<\/strong>, just before summer, is the correct time in which we have to put more attention<\/strong> to your plants, since heat and humidity is an ideal environment for them.<\/p>\n
