Banker plants and landscape composition influence colonisation precocity of tomato greenhouses by mirid predators [PDF]
, 2021 Conservation biological control involves manipulation of the environment to enhance the effectiveness of natural enemies in controlling crop pests. In this study, we combined historical data, sticky trap sampling of tomato greenhouses and beat sampling ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Omnivorous mirids (Hemiptera: Miridae) are unusual as biocontrol agents, as they feed on both plants and pests. Therefore, extensive knowledge of their ecological behavior is required to maximize their predatory side and to minimize crop damage ...

Plant preference in the zoophytophagous generalist predator Macrolophus pygmaeus (Heteroptera: Miridae) [PDF]
Biological Control, 2011 Abstract Macrolophus pygmaeus (Heteroptera: Miridae) is an omnivourus predator used to control several pests of horticultural greenhouses. With the aim to explore the relationship between M. pygmaeus and different host plants compared with tomato, plant preferences and bio-cycle traits were studied using: Capsicum annuum , Calendula officinalis

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Astigmatid mites provide low‐cost supplemental food for Macrolophus pygmaeus, supporting survival and development, with population‐specific responses and Acarus siro and Carpoglyphus lactis as the most promising alternatives. Abstract BACKGROUND Early establishment of Macrolophus pygmaeus in crops depends on the availability of supplemental food ...

Influence of phytophagous behaviour on prey consumption by Macrolophus pygmaeus [PDF]
, 2012 Omnivorous Heteroptera constitute an important component of predatory guilds with high potential for biological control. Understanding the relative effects of plant feeding on the suppression of prey by omnivores could be an important element for ...

Drought stress modulates indirect defense via bottom‐up effects in tomato and wheat
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Different water regimes can have a significant impact on plant morphology and defense pathways in tomato and wheat, triggering multiple olfactory choices in biocontrol agents of key insect pests. These findings could be used to implement biocontrol strategies within the IPM context under a changing climate scenario.
