Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

Urban Green Space as a Reservoir of Predatory Syrphids (Diptera, Syrphidae) for Aphid Control in Cities

Agronomy
The occurrence of predatory Syrphidae (hoverflies) in green areas of cities and their role as biological control agents is determined in this work. During the study, 751 adults belonging to 21 species were captured in Moericke’s traps and with sweep nets,
