Abstract
Among the various insect pests, the gall midge (Dasineura lini Barnes) is considered a major pest of linseed crops. After infection by linseed gall midges, no pods form in linseed plant, because the maggots of these midges feed on buds and blossoms, causing harm by increasing the swelling in tissue. Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is the better way of managing this harmful threat in the linseed field. IPM involves to the comprehensive evaluation of all pest control techniques currently in use and the subsequent integration of effective strategies to prevent the spread of pest populations. It combines biological, chemical, physical and cultural management techniques to cultivate proper crops with a minimum amount of pesticide use and negative effects, these chemicals cause health hazards to humans and as well as degrade the agro-ecosystem.
