Effects of tomato treatments with commercial formulations of entomopathogenic fungi on the pest Tuta absoluta and the predator Macrolophus pygmaeus

Biological Control
Tuta absoluta is a devasting pest causing severe yield losses in most tomato-growing areas. Macrolophus pygmaeus is a generalist predator released in tomato crop to control T. absoluta.

Identification, synthesis, and field evaluation of components of the female‐produced sex pheromone of Helopeltis cinchonae (Hemiptera: Miridae), an emerging pest of tea

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 9, Page 4243-4252, September 2024.
Helopeltis cinchonae male elicited two gas chromatography–electroantennographic detection (GC–EAD) responses to female extract. These were identified as hexyl (R)‐3‐acetoxybutyrate and (R)‐1‐acetoxy‐5‐butyroxyhexane using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS).

Arthropod predator identity and evenness jointly shape the delivery of pest control services

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 2, Page 569-576, February 2024.
Studies investigating how natural enemy evenness and identity affect pest control efficiency are rare and have produced inconsistent results. Using experimental natural enemy communities under strictly controlled conditions, we found that pest control efficiency was predominantly determined by the abundance of the most efficient species, but was ...

Effects of far‐red light on the behaviour and reproduction of the zoophytophagous predator Macrolophus pygmaeus and its interaction with a whitefly herbivore

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 47, Issue 1, Page 187-196, January 2024.
Abstract Plants can detect neighbouring plants through a reduction in the ratio between red and far‐red light (R:FR). This provides a signal of plant–plant competition and induces rapid plant growth while inhibiting defence against biotic stress, two interlinked responses designated as the shade avoidance syndrome (SAS).

Combining Host Plant Resistance, Selective Insecticides, and Biological Control Agents for Integrated Management of Tuta absoluta

Advances in Agriculture, 2020
Combination of pest management strategies that minimize pesticide use and conserve natural enemies is important for a sustainable environment. Overreliance on synthetic insecticides in the management of Tuta absoluta has led to pesticide resistance ...

Risk Assessment Of Macrolophus Pygmaeus As Biological Control Product

, 2015
Macrolophus pygmaeus on the other hand, is already established in Norway. VKM considers that dispersal/migration of M. pygmaeus into the surrounding environment when used for biological control in greenhouses, tunnels and open fields is very likely, and that such escapes (animals) are likely to become established in the environment.

Partial consumption of different species of aphid prey by the predator Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2016
The partial consumption of prey refers to when a predator does not consume all the digestible biomass of an animal it has killed. The frequency of partial consumption of prey by the polyphagous predator Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae) was ...

Tobacco as Banker Plant for Macrolophus Pygmaeus to Control Trialeurodes Vaporariorum in Tomato Crops

Universal Journal of Agricultural Research, 2014
The predatory mirid bug Macrolophus pygmaeus Rambur (Heteroptera: Miridae) is commonly employed to control whiteflies Trialeurodes vaporariorum Westwood (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae), a common pest on tomatoes. In greenhouses of the Mediterranean, tomatoes are important crops and the need to find alternatives to pesticide use is increasing.

The effect of blue and UV light-emitted diodes (LEDs) on the disturbance of the whitefly natural enemies Macrolophus pygmaeus and Encarsia formosa

Biological Control
Recent studies demonstrated that blue and UV light effectively disturb greenhouse whiteflies (Trialeurodes vaporariorum) from a host plant (“push”), enhancing their capture on attractive traps after dispersal (“pull”).
