Pest species diversity enhances control of spider mites and whiteflies by a generalist phytoseiid predator [PDF]
, 2010 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 ...

Variation in herbivory-induced volatiles among cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) varieties has consequences for the attraction of carnivorous natural enemies [PDF]
, 2011 In response to herbivory by arthropods, plants emit herbivory-induced volatiles that attract carnivorous enemies of the inducing herbivores. Here, we compared the attractiveness of eight cucumber varieties (Cucumis sativus L.) to Phytoseiulus persimilis ...

THE IMPLEMENTATION PROSPECTS OF AMBLYSEIUS SP. AS BIOLOGICAL CONTROL AGENT [PDF]
Russian Journal of Agricultural and Socio-Economic Sciences, 2020 Amblyseius sp. was found as a natural enemy of spider mites. Amblyseius can adjust to live together with other mite predators in the development of spider mites. When conditions are favorable for the proper flow between source plants and protected plants,
