Disentangling omnivory of heteropteran and coccinellid predators present in peach and alfalfa crops by metabarcoding analysis
(Elsevier, 2024-05-31)
Ecosystems management is essential for the biological control of arthropod pests in agriculture. For this, it is necessary to know which arthropod and plant resources are the most used by the generalist ...
Comparative cytogenetic study of three Macrolophus species (Heteroptera, Miridae)
(Pensoft Publishers, 2015-09-29)
Macrolophus pygmaeus (Rambur, 1839) (Insecta, Heteroptera, Miridae) is a predator of key vegetable crop pests applied as a biocontrol agent in the Mediterranean region. M. pygmaeus and M. melanotoma (A. ...
Molecular tracking of insect dispersal to verify arthropod predator movement from an alfalfa field to a peach orchard
(Elsevier, 2020-12-10)
Implementation of landscape approaches to conservation biological control programs requires the confirmation of putative sources that contribute to predator colonization of crops. Several predator species ...
Forty years of biological control in Mediterranean tomato greenhouses: The story of success
(The Entomological Society of Israel, 2018-11-14)
The article highlights major landmarks in the development of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programmes for tomato greenhouses in the Mediterranean region. This is the story of how biological control ...
Development of a PCR‐based method to monitor arthropod dispersal in agroecosystems: Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae) from banker plants to tomato crops
(Wiley, 2019-08-16)
Development of conservation biological control programs requires the identification of sources that contribute to predator colonization of crops. Macrolophus pygmaeus (Rambur) (Hemiptera: Miridae) is ...
Control of Aculops lycopersici with the Predatory Mite Transeius montdorensis
(MDPI, 2022-12-03)
In this study, the predatory mite Transeius montdorensis (Acari, Phytoseiidae) was tested for the control of the tomato russet mite (TRM) Aculops lycopersici (Acari, Eriophyidae) in experiments with ...
Disentangling arthropod and plant resources consumed by Orius spp. in peach and alfalfa crops by metagenomic analysis
(Springer, 2022-09-08)
Agricultural intensification is affecting the biological control of insect pests, an important component for sustainable crop production. To understand the changing patterns of insect abundance within ...
