Necremnus artynes (Walker, 1839) (Eulophidae), a potential beneficial for the biological control of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Since its initial detection in Spain in 2006, the gelechiid Tuta absoluta spread rapidly in the Mediterranean Basin and even elsewhere in Europe. It is now a major constraint for all tomato growers (Deneux et al., 2010). At this moment, the best strategy

Population genetic structure of the biological control agent Macrolophus pygmaeus in Mediterranean agroecosystems

open access: yesInsect Science, 2016
AbstractBiological control of agricultural pests relies on knowledge of agroecosystem functionality, particularly when affected by the use of mass‐produced biological agents. Incorporating pre‐ and/or post‐release information such as genetic diversity and structure on these agents using molecular‐based approaches could advance our knowledge of how they

Selection for zoophagy influences biocontrol efficacy and fruit damage by Dicyphus hesperus in greenhouses

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 6, Page 522-531, June 2025.
Dicyphus hesperus, a zoophytophagous predator, effectively controls Bemisia tabaci in tomato greenhouses. Highly zoophagous lines rapidly reduced whitefly populations without causing significant damage to tomatoes, whereas lowly zoophagous lines were equally efficient over time but caused more damage.

Determination of Predators and Parasitoids of Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) in Different Tomato Varieties Cultivated in Open Fields in Diyarbakır Province

open access: yesResearch in Agricultural Sciences
This 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

open access: yesJournal 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,

Macrolophus pygmaeus (Rambur) as an efficient predator of the tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) in Europe. A review

open access: yesBiotechnologie, 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.

Biodiversités « utile » et « nuisible » dans les agrosystèmes : importance pour la lutte biologique par conservation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
La lutte biologique par conservation repose sur la mise en place d’aménagements dans ou autour de parcelles cultivées ou de modifications des pratiques culturales de façon à favoriser la régulation des ravageurs des cultures par des auxiliaires de ...

The influence of acclimation, endosymbionts and diet on the supercooling capacity of the predatory bug Macrolophus pygmaeus [PDF]

open access: yesBioControl, 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.
