Liriomyza cicerina (Rondani, 1875) (Diptera: Agromyzidae) is an important insect pest on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) (Leguminosae: Papilionoidea)in Şanlıurfa province, Turkey. This study was carried out during the production seasons of 2004 and 2005. The experiment was carried out with six different irrigation characters with three replicates. The experiment area was checked once a week during the entire production period starting with the sowing of seeds. Each week ten leaves were removed randomly from each of treated and non-treated replicates. During the growth season, periodical living larvae counts on leaves were made in the parcels of different irrigation levels. In addition, adult counts were made by means of a yellow sticky trap were placed randomly in each replicate. Yield results for each yearly period were also recorded. Results showed that, L. cicerina population was higher on character G, in which the irrigation level was higher than that of the experimental parcels. However, the population was over the economical damage threshold on all irrigation levels. On the other hand, yield was the highest, even over the region average, on high irrigation level parcels. Thus, it was concluded that, according to population and yield characteristics, the highest irrigation level used in G block, where chickpea yield rate was above the South East (GAP) region average, could be recommended
