Research in Agricultural SciencesThis study was conducted to determine predators and parasitoids of the tomato leafminer [Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)] in open field tomato cultivation areas in Diyarbakir province during 2021–2022.

The effectiveness of indirect plant defence is dependent on plant competition
Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 5, Page 1057-1067, May 2025.We investigated whether plant competition influences the effects of parasitoids on plant fitness. Using a full‐factorial open‐field experiment, we tested three levels of herbivory and plant competition. Our results show that parasitoids enhance plant fitness, but only in high plant density, when competing plants are attacked by unparasitized herbivores,

Journal of Pest Science, 2022 It has become clear that omnivorous predators can induce plant defences that affect the performance and host plant choice of herbivores. They are also known to induce the production of plant volatiles that can affect the behaviour of herbivores searching for plants.

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.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 1, Page 40-48, January 2025.Yellow sticky traps (YSTs) and green light‐emitting diode (LED) traps were compared to investigate their attractiveness to the whitefly parasitoid Encarsia formosa (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) under practical growing conditions in the greenhouse. The results demonstrate LED traps being less attractive to this parasitoid and other beneficials than ...

Endophytic entomopathogenic fungi as biological control agents of insect pests
Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 12, Page 6033-6040, December 2024.Interaction between plants and endophytic entomopathogenic fungi. Fungal metabolites and induced systemic resistance enhance the plant's defense mechanisms against pests and pathogens. In addition, volatile compounds emitted by the plants colonized by endophytic entomopathogenic fungi play an important role in recruiting natural enemies of insect pests,

The influence of acclimation, endosymbionts and diet on the supercooling capacity of the predatory bug Macrolophus pygmaeus [PDF]
BioControl, 2012 The generalist predator Macrolophus pygmaeus Rambur (Hemiptera: Miridae) is a key biological control agent in European greenhouses. The influence of acclimation, infection with endosymbiotic bacteria and diet on the cold tolerance of the Mediterranean biocontrol population was assessed by determining the supercooling point, i.e.

Ex vivo delivery of dsRNA targeting ryanodine receptors for control of Tuta absoluta
Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 12, Page 6400-6408, December 2024.Long dsRNA molecules homologous to the Ryanodine receptor delivered via detached leaf bioassays reduce target gene expression and adult emergence in Tuta absoluta. Abstract BACKGROUND RNA interference (RNAi) is an endogenous eukaryote viral defence mechanism representing a unique form of post‐transcriptional gene silencing.

Dietary experience alters predatory behavior of two ladybird species on tomato potato psyllid
Insect Science, Volume 31, Issue 5, Page 1579-1590, October 2024.Past feeding experiences influence the predation behavior of two ladybirds on tomato potato psyllids. Abstract The tomato potato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli, is an invasive pest in Australia, which can cause severe economic loss in the production of Solanaceous crops. As an invasive pest, B.
