This species is generally found infesting several other field-grown crops in the region; however, their host preference is poorly understood. Thus, greenhouse cage experiments were conducted to evaluate L. hesperus host preference by simultaneously presenting adults with 4 host plants: potato, alfalfa, Medicago sativa L., carrot, Daucus carota L., and pea, Pisum sativum L. In addition, an oviposition test was conducted. The results indicated that L. hesperus actively chose as a host and as an oviposition substrate among the 4 host plants. We found a significantly higher number of adults on alfalfa and potato plants over carrot or pea plants at 6 h, 24 h, and 48 h after adults were released into the cage. However, 96 h after release, more L. hesperus were found in alfalfa. In addition, female L. hesperus strongly preferred potato and alfalfa plants as an oviposition substrate over carrot and pea plants at 96 h after release.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/ee\/nvae009","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,3]],"date-time":"2024-03-03T14:48:45Z","timestamp":1709477325000},"page":"288-292","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Host
