          Abstract

          Wheat and barley are the principal food crops for millions of people in the predominantly mixed crop-livestock farming systems. The cereal leafminer, Syringopais temperatella (Lepidoptera, Scythrididae) is a major biotic constraint to wheat and barley production in Jordan and the region. Three variables of yield components were used to quantify the loss of wheat and barley including the grain yield, straw dry mass and leaf area consumed. Forty-two (in the field experiment) and one hundred eighteen (in the laboratory experiment) accessions of wheat and barley were used to access the average damage; representing different levels of susceptibility to S. temperatella. Equations of three negative correlations of percentage of infestation versus both grain yield and straw dry mass, and the number of larvae versus the straw dry mass were produced. Results indicated that the average grain yield reduction for both crops due to pest infestation was estimated at 36.1% for wheat and 50% for barley, but the individual reductions ranged 17.4-73.3%. The straw dry mass reduction was estimated at 29.9% for wheat and 16.5% for barley with individual reductions ranging between 8.4 and 44.8%. In addition, one positive correlation for the number of leafminer larvae versus the leaf area consumed was found. The estimated leaf area consumed per one larva was 0.30 cm² and 0.38 cm² for wheat and barley, respectively.

          El trigo y la cebada son los principales cultivos alimenticios para millones de personas en los sistemas de producción de cultivos y ganadería predominantemente mixtas. El minador de cereales, Syringopais temperatella (Lepidoptera: Scythrididae) es una importante limitación biótica de producción de trigo y cebada en Jordania y la región. Tres parámetros de daño fueron utilizados para cuantificar la pérdida en trigo y cebada: el rendimiento de grano, masa seca de paja y área foliar consumida. Cuarenta y dos (en experimentos de campo) y ciento dieciocho (en experimentos de laboratorio) accesiones de trigo y cebada se utilizaron para estimar el daño promedio, que representan diferentes niveles de susceptibilidad a S. temperatella. Se construyeron las ecuaciones de tres correlaciones negativas para porcentaje de infestación en comparación con el rendimiento de grano y materias seca de paja, y la del número de larvas en comparación con la masa seca de paja. Los resultados indicaron una reducción promedio de rendimiento de grano para los dos cultivos debido a la infestación de plaga estimada en 36,1% para el trigo y 50% para la cebada, pero las reducciones individuales oscilaron entre 17,4-73,3%. La reducción de la masa seca de paja se estimó en 29,9% para el trigo y 16,5% para la cebada con reducciones individuales que variaron entre 8,4 y 44,8%. Además, se encontró un aumento, con correlación positiva, en el número de larvas de minador frente a la zona consumida de hoja. El área foliar estimada consumida por una larva es de 0,30 cm² y 0,38 cm² para trigo y cebada, respectivamente.
