Pollen as an alternative or supplementary food for the mirid predator Macrolophus pygmaeus [PDF]
Biological Control, 2010 Abstract For the mass production of the mirid predator Macrolophus pygmaeus eggs of the Mediterranean flour moth Ephestia kuehniella are routinely used as an effective but expensive factitious food. In the current study, the potential of pollen as a supplementary food for M. pygmaeus was investigated.

Side effects of pesticides used in organic and conventional tomato crops on Dolichogenidea gelechiidivoris, a parasitoid of Tuta absoluta. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciThis study reveals strong variability in the effects of eight tomato integrated pest management‐compatible pesticides on Dolichogenidea gelechiidivoris, identifying harmful compounds such as spinosad and more selective ones such as sulfur and spiromesifen, depending on the exposure route.
