The damage the Family Psilidae to agriculture (Insecta: Diptera)

Abstract

Biology of the carrot fly Psila rosae (Fabricius, 1794) was described by the Danish zoologist Fabricius as early as the 18th century (Fabricius, 1794). The flies overwinter mainly as pupae in the soil near their host plants, in mild winters also as larvae in the host plant roots or in harvest residues. Depending on the temperature, the first generation of carrot flies hatches from mid/late April and reaches a peak in May. Little is known about the spread of adult flies and their migration to current carrot plots, but vegetation elements presumably play an important role in orientation and protection against dehydration. The aim of the mini review is to study on the biology, behavior and damage caused by the carrot fly (Diptera: Psilidae). The aim of this study is to report the characteristics of the Family Psilidae. For this, a bibliographic survey of Scoliidae was carried out in the years to 2022. Only complete articles published in scientific journals and expanded abstracts presented in national and international scientific events were considered.
