Abstract

The seed maggot complex, Hylemya (Delia) platura Meig. and H. (Delia) liturata Meig., is shown to be a primary pest of radish. In laboratory experiments larvae of this species complex attacked radishes and developed into pupae whether or not the plants were already damaged by the cabbage maggot, H. brassicae Bouché.
