Evolutionary Applications, Volume 15, Issue 10, Page 1580-1593, October 2022., 2022 Abstract Biological control (biocontrol) of crop pests is a sustainable alternative to the use of biodiversity and organismal health‐harming chemical pesticides. Aphids can be biologically controlled with parasitoid wasps; however, variable results of parasitoid‐based aphid biocontrol in greenhouses are reported. Aphids may display genetically encoded (

Prospects for habitat management to suppress vegetable pests in Australia
Austral Entomology, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 3-28, February 2022., 2022 Abstract Habitat management is an ecologically based approach to suppress pest densities, utilising properties of non‐crop vegetation to improve the impact of natural enemies or to directly affect pest behaviour. Research in this approach has escalated dramatically this century, extending to uptake in some crops, but adoption in Australia has been ...
