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.

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
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,

Ex vivo delivery of dsRNA targeting ryanodine receptors for control of Tuta absoluta
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
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.

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).

Praktijknetwerken Nieuwsbrief December 2013 [PDF]
Binnen de biologische glastuinbouw lopen meerdere praktijknetwerken. De paprikatelers werken samen in het netwerk Biodiversiteit onder glas. Naast de zoektocht naar nieuwe bestrijders kijken we vooral hoe natuurlijke bestrijders worden ondersteund door ...

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

Control biològic de Tuta absoluta en tomàquet [PDF]
Nowadays we all know the importance of parasitoids and the great potential that they demonstrate as biologic control agents of pests. To build new strategies to conserve and attract new species of natural enemies in the ecosystem that surround the crop ...
