Pest species diversity enhances control of spider mites and whiteflies by a generalist phytoseiid predator [PDF]
To test the hypothesis that pest species diversity enhances biological pest control with generalist predators, we studied the dynamics of three major pest species on greenhouse cucumber: Western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande ...
