Inheritance Mode of a Red-Eye Mutation in Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae) [PDF]
InsectsA mutation affecting eye color was discovered in Macrolophus pygmaeus (Rambur) (Hemiptera: Miridae). This species is an important biological control agent used to manage whiteflies and other arthropod pests in greenhouse crops. Typically, these predators

Risk Assessment Of Macrolophus Pygmaeus As Biological Control Product [PDF]
, 2015 Macrolophus pygmaeus on the other hand, is already established in Norway. VKM considers that dispersal/migration of M. pygmaeus into the surrounding environment when used for biological control in greenhouses, tunnels and open fields is very likely, and that such escapes (animals) are likely to become established in the environment.

Limited effects of plant-beneficial fungi on plant volatile composition and host-choice behavior of Nesidiocoris tenuis [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Biological control using plant-beneficial fungi has gained considerable interest as a sustainable method for pest management, by priming the plant for enhanced defense against pathogens and insect herbivores.

Evidence of Cannibalism in Macrolophus pygmaeus, a Natural Enemy of Whiteflies
Journal of Insect Behavior, 2013 Cannibalism and the effects of host plant, sex, time and food resources on its expression were studied for the zoophagous mirid Macrolophus pygmaeus Wagner (Hemiptera: Miridae). Cannibalistic behaviour was studied by offering 5 conspecific larvae (first instar) to newly emerging adults. Four treatments were studied: without water, with water only, with

Lethal and behavioral effects of pesticides on the insect predator Macrolophus pygmaeus
Chemosphere, 2014 Macrolophus 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.

Toxicity of Foeniculum vulgare essential oil, its main component and nanoformulation against Phthorimaea absoluta and the generalist predator Macrolophus pygmaeus [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe encapsulation of essential oils (EOs) in nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) represents an innovative and advanced approach to improve their stability and efficacy. This study evaluated, for the first time, the toxicity of Foeniculum vulgare EO (FVO)
