Combining Host Plant Resistance, Selective Insecticides, and Biological Control Agents for Integrated Management of Tuta absoluta

Advances in Agriculture, 2020
Combination of pest management strategies that minimize pesticide use and conserve natural enemies is important for a sustainable environment. Overreliance on synthetic insecticides in the management of Tuta absoluta has led to pesticide resistance ...

Partial consumption of different species of aphid prey by the predator Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2016
The partial consumption of prey refers to when a predator does not consume all the digestible biomass of an animal it has killed. The frequency of partial consumption of prey by the polyphagous predator Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae) was ...

The effect of blue and UV light-emitted diodes (LEDs) on the disturbance of the whitefly natural enemies Macrolophus pygmaeus and Encarsia formosa

Biological Control
Recent studies demonstrated that blue and UV light effectively disturb greenhouse whiteflies (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) from a host plant (“push”), enhancing their capture on attractive traps after dispersal (“pull”).

Tobacco as Banker Plant for Macrolophus Pygmaeus to Control Trialeurodes Vaporariorum in Tomato Crops

Universal Journal of Agricultural Research, 2014
The predatory mirid bug Macrolophus pygmaeus Rambur (Heteroptera: Miridae) is commonly employed to control whiteflies Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae), a common pest on tomatoes. In greenhouses of the Mediterranean, tomatoes are important crops and the need to find alternatives to pesticide use is increasing.
