Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 26, Issue 2, Page 159-170, May 2024.
Abstract Increasing plant diversity in agroecosystems is well‐known to strengthen natural pest suppression, yet reliably predicting which non‐crop management practices best support natural enemies remains a challenge. Farmers often supplement diversity with managed flower patches or by allowing weedy non‐crop plant growth, both of which may support ...

Use the Coccinella undecimpunctata L. for controlling Aphis gossypii Glover and Myzus persicae (Sulzer) on cucumber in Egypt [PDF]

Egyptian Academic Journal of Biological Sciences. A, Entomology, 2009
Three rates of Coccinella undecimpunctata L. (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) stages release in cucumber field for controlling Aphis gossypii Glover and Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) was repeated 4 times at 15-day intervals. The tested rates were 12000 predator larvae/ feddan/releases, 6000 predator adults/feddan/releases and combination of
