Evaluating astigmatid mites as supplemental food for Macrolophus pygmaeus: contrasting responses between commercial and wild populations

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8319-8326, September 2026.
Astigmatid mites provide low‐cost supplemental food for Macrolophus pygmaeus, supporting survival and development, with population‐specific responses and Acarus siro and Carpoglyphus lactis as the most promising alternatives. Abstract BACKGROUND Early establishment of Macrolophus pygmaeus in crops depends on the availability of supplemental food ...

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8499-8511, September 2026.
Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.

Evaluating predatory arthropods for the biological control of the invasive Thrips parvispinus (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in greenhouse sweet pepper

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8448-8458, September 2026.
This study shows that Orius laevigatus, alone or with other predators, consistently achieved the highest suppression of Thrips parvispinus and improved plant productivity. Franklinothrips vespiformis coexisted with O. laevigatus, suggesting compatibility, while Amblyseius swirskii declined, indicating incompatibility. Individually, F. vespiformis and A.

A synergistic alliance between nematophagous fungi and organic matter against plant‐parasitic nematodes: a systematic review

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8104-8119, September 2026.
Certain beneficial fungi are widely used to control harmful nematodes in crops, especially when combined with organic matter. Together, they improve soil health, support plant growth, and enhance nutrient cycling. This natural partnership offers a promising, environmentally friendly approach to strengthening sustainable agriculture and reducing ...

Microbiome‐mediated chemical communication in insects: Implications for pest management

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8132-8151, September 2026.
Microbiome–semiochemical interactions involve the following processes: direct microbial synthesis, host gene regulation, precursor biotransformation, microbiome modulation and indirect ecological signaling. Abstract Insects rely on semiochemicals to regulate aggregation, mating, foraging, and host selection. This review synthesizes evidence that insect‐
