Methyl Jasmonate and Methyl Salicylate Differentially Modulate Direct and Indirect Defenses in Coffee Plants Against the White Mealybug

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 11, Page 1322-1333, November 2026.
MeJA application strengthened both direct and indirect coffee defenses against the white mealybug Planococcus citri, whereas the effects of MeSA were variable and context‐dependent across the defensive traits examined. The combined application of both elicitors produced an effect similar to MeSA on direct defenses, but resembled MeJA when indirect ...

Assessing the Efficacy of Steinernema carpocapsae for Biological Control of Megaselia halterata on Mushroom Farms

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 11, Page 1401-1407, November 2026.
Steinernema carpocapsae applications averaged 40%–60% mortality of mushroom phorid larvae in laboratory experiments. Survival experiments showed that nematode populations drop 50% approximately 5 days post application in mushroom compost. ABSTRACT Mushroom phorid flies (Megaselia halterata; MPF) are a major pest of commercial mushroom production, where

Biological control of spider mites in North-Italian vineyards using pesticide resistant predatory mites [PDF]

, 2018
International audienceThe success of phytoseiid mite releases to control spider mites [Eotetranychus carpini (Oudemans) and Panonychus ulmi (Koch)] on grapevines can be influenced by pesticide use and competition with local predatory mites.

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2448-2466, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Prey location by the predatory mites Neoseiulus californicus and Phytoseiulus persimilis (Acari: Phytoseiidae) under exposure to chlorfenapyr and acequinocyl

Persian Journal of Acarology
Biological control is widely regarded as a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to pest management. However, the use of acaricides may occasionally be required as a supplementary measure.

Predatory Mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) in Agro-Ecosystems and Conservation Biological Control: A Review and Explorative Approach for Forecasting Plant-Predatory Mite Interactions and Mite Dispersal

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Phytoseiidae mites are efficient predators, able to control pest mites and small arthropods in crops all over the world, using three biological control strategies: (i) augmentation, (ii) classical, and (iii) conservation. This paper focuses on the latter

Simulated Targeted Anthelmintic Treatment Maintains Dung Removal but Not Dung‐Inhabiting Insect Communities

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
Spatially explicit simulation modelling reveals complex effects of anthelmintic treatment regimes on dung‐inhabiting insect communities across three functional guilds (flies, endocoprids, paracoprids). Only without treatment did significant community effects not occur, while increasing livestock stocking density reduced overall community size ...

Developments in the use of predatory mites for biological pest control

, 2008
Predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae, but now also Laelapidae) have gained momentum as agents for successful biocontrol of plant pests. The time has gone where they were mainly considered for the control of spider mites.

Cannibalism in Buchananiella whitei (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) and its intraguild interactions with seven predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae & Laelapidae)

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 10030-10038, October 2026.
Extraguild prey reduces cannibalism and intraguild predation in Buchananiella whitei, while first‐instar nymphs dominate most predatory mites, with outcomes affected by body size and behavioral traits. Abstract BACKGROUND Cannibalism and intraguild predation (IGP) are common interactions among predators that can influence the effectiveness of ...
