Nanostructured lipid carrier of oregano essential oil for controlling Tuta absoluta with minimal impact on beneficial organisms [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Tuta absoluta is a significant invasive pest, severely impacting the global tomato industry. Prolonged application of chemical insecticides has led to varying degrees of resistance in T. absoluta populations.

Floral Resource Integration: Enhancing Biocontrol of Tuta absoluta Within Sustainable IPM Frameworks [PDF]

Plants
The tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta, is a pest threatening global tomato production. This pest’s adaptability and resistance to chemical insecticides have necessitated integrated pest management (IPM) strategies prioritizing sustainable alternatives ...

Temperature-Driven Selection of Predatory Mirid Bugs for Improving Aphid Control in Sweet Pepper Crops

Horticulturae, 2023
Recent studies have suggested that predatory mirid bugs may be an effective alternative for controlling aphids in sweet pepper greenhouses. This study examined the effect of three constant temperatures (18, 24, and 30 °C) on the life history traits of ...

Phytophagy of omnivorous predator Macrolophus pygmaeus affects performance of herbivores through induced plant defences. [PDF]

Oecologia, 2018
Plants possess various inducible defences that result in synthesis of specialized metabolites in response to herbivory, which can interfere with the performance of herbivores of the same and other species. Much less is known of the effects of plant feeding by omnivores.

Elliptic Fourier Analysis in the Study of the Male Genitalia to Discriminate Three Macrolophus Species (Hemiptera: Miridae)

Insects, 2017
Within the genus Macrolophus (Heteroptera: Miridae), the species M. costalis (Fieber), M. melanotoma (Costa) and M. pygmaeus (Rambur) are present in the Mediterranean region on a wide variety of plant species. While M.

Keep an eye on natural enemies: What Aphidius on sticky traps tells us about aphid pest population dynamics

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 171, Issue 10, Page 722-731, October 2023., 2023
We investigated the approach of indirect monitoring of unwinged aphids by yellow sticky trap catches of its flying natural enemy in greenhouses. We assessed the population density of the cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae), via the foraging activities of Aphidius colemani (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), in a cucumber crop.

Combined thermal and insecticidal stresses on the generalist predator Macrolophus pygmaeus

Science of The Total Environment, 2020
Ecotoxicological risk assessments of pesticides on non-target arthropods are often carried out under constant and optimal temperature regimes. However, living organisms rarely experience these conditions in real field situations. Understanding the impact of pesticides on non-target beneficial arthropods under temperature stresses is especially ...

Effect of simulated heat waves on the behaviour of two mirid predators

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 147, Issue 7, Page 486-498, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Extreme climatic events, including heat waves with high‐temperature peaks during the day, are expected to occur more often in many parts of the world due to climate change and may exert negative effects on existing biological control strategies.
