Screening of melon genotypes for resistance to vegetable leafminer and your phenotypic correlations with colorimetry.

Melon is one of the most important vegetable crops in the world. With short cycle in a system of phased planting, phytosanitary control is compromised, and a great volume of agricultural chemicals is used to control vegetable leafminer. Genetic control is an ideal alternative to avoid the damage caused by this insect.
