Complementarity between Orius predators improves control of foliar and flower pests. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Orius predators are commonly used against thrips in many crops. Certain species are suggested to be more effective against flower pests, while others may control effectively foliar pests. Here, we show that Orius species combinations may complement each other and effectively control both flower and foliar pests on gerbera.

Ecological Studies on the Peach Green Aphid, Myzus persicae and its Natural Enemies [PDF]

Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2022
The population fluctuation, migration and flight ac­tivity of aphids vary during the year, because they are affected by various biotic and abiotic factors, among them being the occurrence of varia­tions in temperature and natural enemies' composition ...

Do aphids in Dutch sweet pepper greenhouses carry heritable elements that protect them against biocontrol parasitoids?

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 (

Insect industrialization and prospect in commerce: A case of China

Entomological Research, Volume 52, Issue 4, Page 178-194, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Insects are the largest biological group on the earth, characterized by high biodiversity, easy rearing, and large populations. The utilization of insects in China has a long history and some insect species have contributed to the formation of characteristic industries.

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 ...

The cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover and predators on Catalpa bignonioides Walt.

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2002
In 1998–2001, the cotton aphid (Aphis gossypii Glover, Homoptera, Aphididae) was found to complete its holocycle on Catalpa bignonioides Walt. in Ljubljana (Slovenia). The infested leaves showed curling. The aphid was very damaging by causing the flowers

Leucopis annulipes larvae (Diptera: Chamaemyiidae) use a furtive predation strategy within aphid colonies

European Journal of Entomology, 2008
A laboratory experiment was conducted to determine whether the predation strategy of larvae of the aphidophagous silver fly Leucopis annulipes Zetterstedt (Diptera: Chamaemyiidae) is furtive, as are larvae of the aphidophagous midge Aphidoletes ...

Disjunction between canola distribution and the genetic structure of its recently described pest, the canola flower midge (Contarinia brassicola)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 23, Page 13284-13296, December 2020., 2020
The canola flower midge is a newly discovered pest of canola from the Canadian Prairies. The population genetic analyses presented in this study recovered little population structure across its known range, consistent with high levels of gene flow in this region.
