Use of Insect Pheromones in Vegetable Pest Management: Successes and Struggles
2015Insect pheromones can be used to monitor, mass-trap, and/or disrupt the mating process of insect pests. Sex pheromones of major lepidopteran pests such as tomato fruit worm (Helicoverpa armigera) and common armyworm (Spodoptera litura) are widely used as monitoring lures in tropical vegetable production systems. The use of sex pheromone traps as a mass-

Vegetational Designs to Enhance Biological Control of Insect Pests in Agroecosystems
2019A key strategy in agroecology is to restore functional biodiversity in agroecosystems at field and landscape levels. Biodiversity performs essential ecological services, and, if correctly assembled in time and space, it can lead to agroecosystems capable of sponsoring their own crop protection. Diversity can be enhanced in crop fields by means of cover
