A systematic review on research trends and commercialised entomopathogenic nematodes: A global perspective

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 298-313, May 2026.
Out of 136 identified EPNs, only 18 (8 Steinernema and 6 Heterorhabditis) are commercialised globally, highlighting a major gap between discovery and application. High production costs and inconsistent field efficacy are the leading obstacles to the widespread commercialisation of EPN‐based biocontrol products.

Predation Under Heat Stress: The Significance of Body Size to the Outcome of an Acarine Predator–Prey Interaction

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
(A) The predator Phytoseiulus persimilis and its prey Tetranychus urticae were reared under mild or extreme heat waves from egg to adulthood, which resulted in asymmetrical thermal shifts of adult body sizes in favour of prey under extreme heat waves. (B) Single couples of adult predators and prey, reared under mild heat waves interacted at mild heat ...

Towards transparent and replicable flower selection in agricultural flower strips

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Flower strips are increasingly employed as ecologically sustainable methods for attracting beneficial insects to agricultural landscapes. Since flowers differ substantially in an array of characteristics including morphology, nutritional content, and phenology, selecting “the right flowers for the right job” requires the designer to make ...

Modified rearing technique for green lacewing (Chrysopa spp.)

, 2013
Green lacewing (Chyrsopa spp.) is a voracious feeder of aphids, mealy bugs, whiteflies, scale insects and other soft-bodied caterpillars. It is being mass reared in other countires and utilized as biological control agent of several insect pests.

Biological control of mealybugs with lacewing larvae is affected by the presence and type of supplemental prey [PDF]

, 2016
The diversity of prey and food sources in crops has a major effect on biological pest control by generalist predators. In this study, we tested if and how supplemental prey or food affects the control of the citrus mealybug Planococcus citri (Risso) by ...

Predation efficacy of Chrysoperla carnea on two economically important stink bugs

Biological Control
Larvae of the green lacewing Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) are generalist predators feeding on a range of pests in agroecosystems. Little is known about the suitability of stink bugs as prey for lacewing larvae.
