Chemical Ecology of Egg Parasitoids Associated with True Bugs [PDF]
Parasitoids representing some 15 families of Hymenoptera develop in insect eggs; three of these families, Platygastridae (= Scelionidae), Mymaridae, and Encyrtidae, are associated with Heteroptera. Several species of heteropteran egg parasitoids are or may be important for biological pest control.

Wheat fertilization increased plant growth, nitrogen and protein levels, influencing the wheat volatile profile and affecting female wheat midge choice to lay eggs. This could partly result from the observed changes in the VOC profile. Abstract BACKGROUND In Canada, the orange wheat blossom midge (hereafter called wheat midge), Sitodiplosis mosellana ...

Bacillus thuringiensis and its pest control potential as endophyte
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) systemically colonizes tomato plants as endophyte, inducing midgut damage, fitness reduction and immune suppression in Spodoptera littoralis larvae feeding on Bt‐colonized leaves. The immune suppression enhances the susceptibility to Bt treatments, allowing a synergistic dual use of Bt commercial formulations, by combined ...
