Evaluation of Chrysoperla carnea and Macrolophus pygmaeus as biological control agents of Frankliniella occidentalis on Batavia lettuce under hydroponic cultivation

Journal of Crop Protection, 2022
Few studies have investigated the efficacy of natural enemies against pests in hydroponic farming. We aimed to determine the effectiveness of two predators Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae), and Macrolophus pygmaeus Rambur ...

Preference and prey switching in a generalist predator attacking local and invasive alien pests. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Invasive pest species may strongly affect biotic interactions in agro-ecosystems. The ability of generalist predators to prey on new invasive pests may result in drastic changes in the population dynamics of local pest species owing to predator-mediated ...

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

How Safe Is It to Rely on Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae) as a Biocontrol Agent in Tomato Crops?

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 ...

Host Plant Perception and Selection in the Sibling Species Macrolophus melanotoma and Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae)

Journal of Insect Behavior, 2016
The electroantennogram responses (EAGs) of Macrolophus melanotoma and Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae) exposed to volatile compounds (VOCs) of host and non-host plants were compared. The VOCs were identified by gas chromatography. Hosts and non-hosts eliciting similar EAGs were tested in olfactory assays against plants without a significant ...
