Beneficial Insects Deliver Plant Growth-Promoting Bacterial Endophytes between Tomato Plants [PDF]

Microorganisms, 2021
Beneficial insects and mites, including generalist predators of the family Miridae, are widely used in biocontrol programs against many crop pests, such as whiteflies, aphids, lepidopterans and mites. Mirid predators frequently complement their carnivore

Macrolophus pygmaeus (Rambur) as an efficient predator of the tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) in Europe. A review [PDF]

Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2014
The tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), originates from South America, and remains one of the main tomato pests in this continent. Since its introduction to Europe in 2006, Mediterranean countries have also been exposed to this pest.

Predator size affects the intensity of mutual interference in a predatory mirid [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Interference competition occurs when access to an available resource is negatively affected by interactions with other individuals, where mutual interference involves individuals of the same species.

Biological characteristics of the mirids Macrolophus costalis and Macrolophus pygmaeus preying on the tobacco form of Myzus persicae (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

Bulletin of Entomological Research, 2003
AbstractBiological and population parameters of the predatory bugs Macrolophus costalis Fieber and Macrolophus pygmaeus Rambur preying on the tobacco aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) were examined. Tobacco was used as host plant and all experiments were carried out at 23°C and L16:D8. In M.

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.

Verbetering inzet Macrolophus pygmaeus in tomaat

, 2014
De vestiging van de roofwants Macrolophus pygmaeus in tomaat komt vaak moeizaam op gang in de periode wintervoorjaar. Op een commercieel tomatenbedrijf is gekeken of de populatiegroei van Macrolophus versneld kan worden met alternatief voedsel. Een standaard toepassing van Ephestia-eieren (35g/ha) werd vergeleken met een 5x zo hoge dosering van de veel

Intraguild predation between Macrolophus pygmaeus and Aphidius ervi [PDF]

, 2018
This work investigates the intraguild predation (IGP) between the predator Macrolophus pygmaeus Rambur (Hemiptera Miridae) and the aphid parasitoid Aphidius ervi Haliday (Hymenoptera Braconidae). In particular, predation on parasitized Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (Hemiptera Aphididae) aphids was studied at two different stages of parasitism.

Wolbachia induces strong cytoplasmic incompatibility in the predatory bug Macrolophus pygmaeus

Insect Molecular Biology, 2009
Abstract Macrolophus pygmaeus is a heteropteran predator that is widely used in European glasshouses for the biological control of whiteflies, aphids, thrips and spider mites. We have demonstrated that the insect is infected with the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia ...
