The state of commercial augmentative biological control: plenty of natural enemies, but a frustrating lack of uptake [PDF]
, 2011 Augmentative biological control concerns the periodical release of natural enemies. In com- mercial augmentative biological control, natural enemies are mass-reared in biofactories for release in large numbers to obtain an immediate control of pests. The

SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DISTRIBUTION OF NATURAL ENEMIES VISITING REFUGIA IN A PADDY FIELD AREA IN MALANG [PDF]
AGRIVITA Journal of Agricultural Science, 2012 Human activities in seeking agricultural lands, has change the traditional agricultural system into intensive cultivation system. One effort to minimize intensive agriculture system is the use of natural enemies to control pests.

Mutant fixation in the presence of a natural enemy [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 AbstractThe literature about mutant invasion and fixation typically assumes populations to exist in isolation from their ecosystem. Yet, populations are part of ecological communities, and enemy-victim (e.g. predator-prey or pathogen-host) interactions are particularly common.

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2020 Background The successful rearing of predators or parasitoids is one of the most important elements in biological control programs. The dried fruit mite, Carpoglyphus lactis (L.), can be used as an alternative prey for the phytoseiid predatory mite ...
