Effects of timed LED regimes on tomato plant traits, performance of two‐spotted spider mites, and predatory mites (Phytoseiulus persimilis)

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 2300-2311, April 2025.
Light‐emitting diode (LED)‐based treatments for enhancing crop production and pest management have primarily focused on continuous treatments. This study, using Tetranychus urticae and Phytoseiulus persimilis, demonstrates that the timing of LED supplementation is crucial for designing integrated pest management strategies that improve both plant ...

How effective are entomopathogenic nematodes for vine weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) biological control? A meta-analysis. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Entomopathogenic nematodes provide reliable biological control of vine weevil larvae, reducing populations by 63% on average. All five tested species are effective, with temperature (18–30 °C) being the strongest predictor of success. Abstract BACKGROUND Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) is a globally important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops

A preventive strategy for the control of aphids in sweet pepper using lacewings and micrococcinelid beetles

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Aphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.
