Biological control against phytophagous arthropods has been widely used under greenhouse conditions. Its success is dependent on a number of factors related to the abiotic conditions and to the interactions between pests and biological control agents.

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 2012
AbstractTwo Macrolophus species, M. melanotoma (=M. caliginosus) and M. pygmaeus, have been referred to as efficient predators of several key pests on vegetable crops in Europe. However, due to the great morphological similarity of these species, they have been confused, with important consequences for inoculative releases of these predators in ...

Lethal and behavioral effects of pesticides on the insect predator Macrolophus pygmaeus
Chemosphere, 2014Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae) is a common generalist predator in Mediterranean agro-ecosystems. We evaluated the lethal effects of six insecticides and a fungicide on M. pygmaeus nymphs exposed to the pesticides through three routes of exposure: direct, residual and oral.

Herbivores avoid host plants previously exposed to their omnivorous predator Macrolophus pygmaeus [PDF]
Journal of Pest Science, 2018 Herbivorous arthropods use various cues to choose suitable host plants. We investigated whether three species of herbivores use cues associated with their omnivorous predator Macrolophus pygmaeus to select host plants. Earlier, we found that this omnivore induces plant defences which decreased the performance of two of the herbivores, i.e.

Influence of photoperiod on development and maturation of Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera, Miridae)
Entomological Review, 2016The effects of day length on development and reproductive maturation of zoophytophagous bug Macrolophus pygmaeus (= M. nubilis) were investigated under laboratory conditions using two strains originated from the environs of Rome, Italy (41.75°N, 12.30°E and 41.95°N., 12.80°E) and Sochi, Krasnodar Territory, Russia (43.9°N, 39.3°E).

Artemia cysts as an alternative food for the predatory bug Macrolophus pygmaeus
Journal of Applied Entomology, 2009AbstractThe suitability of cysts of the brine shrimp Artemia sp. as a factitious food for the predator Macrolophus pygmaeus Rambur was investigated. The influence of decapsulation time and hydration of the cysts on the performance of the predator were studied in the absence of plant material.

Plant food effects on prey consumption by the omnivorous predator Macrolophus pygmaeus
Phytoparasitica, 2013Omnivorous predatory Heteroptera are important biological control agents of pests in several crops. They can feed on plant food resources that may positively affect their biological characteristics. In the current paper, the influence of leaves and flowers on the predation rate of the omnivorous predator Macrolophus pygmaeus (Rambur) (Hemiptera ...

A linear model and three nonlinear models (Logan type III, Lactin and Briere) were applied to Macrolophus pygmaeus (Rambur) (Hemiptera: Miridae) at constant temperatures and validated under diel temperature variation, and field conditions. Complete development from egg to adult, with >80% survivorship, occurred at nine constant temperatures between 15 ...

Assessment of pospiviroid transmission by myzus persicae, macrolophus pygmaeus and bombus terrestris
European Journal of Plant Pathology, 2015During the past decade, pospiviroid outbreaks in tomato and sweet pepper crops have been regularly reported worldwide. Although seed transmission was often suspected, transmission from asymptomatic ornamentals and weeds through pruning tools, or via insect vectors could not be excluded.
