Chrysoperla externa (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) as a Potential Biological Control Agent of Raoiella indica (Acari: Tenuipalpidae)

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 335-342, April 2026.
First and third instar Chrysoperla externa showed efficient predatory capacity at low R. indica density, but second instar C. externa exhibits a density‐dependent predatory ability. The lacewing C. externa shows promise as a biocontrol agent for R. indica in coconut because it consumed 8362 R. indica females across all its larval instars.

Journal of Food Biochemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Propolis is already widely incorporated into food and pharmaceutical formulations due to its rich content of bioactive compounds and significant antioxidant activity. However, the low compound stability and the intense flavor and aroma of propolis are the main limitations to its application, for which encapsulation may be an effective strategy.
