    Banker plants and landscape composition influence colonisation precocity of tomato greenhouses by mirid predators

    Conservation biological control involves manipulation of the environment to enhance the effectiveness of natural enemies in controlling crop pests. In this study, we combined historical data, sticky trap sampl...

    Land use alters the abundance of herbivore and predatory insects on crops: the case of alfalfa

    We assess the effects of changing land use and crop management on alfalfa insect abundance by comparing it in 50 alfalfa fields when they were inserted in landscapes with different proportions of arable crops ...

    Early planting, management of edges and non-crop habitats reduce potyvirus infection in maize

    Viruses are a limiting factor in maize production areas around the world. The knowledge of the interactions between agroecosystems and the virus-vector-host system is limited, but a landscape-scale approach co...

    Pre-planting inoculation for early establishment of Dicyphus bolivari and D. errans on tomatoes

    Slow establishment and risks of plant damage are major constraints for the use of the predatory mirid bugs that are commercially available for release in greenhouse crops. Therefore, a new interest has turned ...

    Innate and Learned Prey-Searching Behavior in a Generalist Predator

    Early colonization by Zyginidia scutellaris leafhoppers might be a key factor in the attraction and settling of generalist predators, such as Orius spp., in maize fields. In this paper, we aimed to determine whet...

    Mating behaviour of female Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae): polyandry increases reproductive output

    Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) is an important pest of tomato. Mass trap** of males has seldom proved an effective control measure, probably due to the pest’s reproductive biology. There are few studi...

    Indirect effects of genetically modified herbicide tolerant crops on biodiversity and ecosystem services: the biological control example

    Weeds can directly affect arthropods by providing favorable microclimates, food, shelter, mating sites and oviposition substrates. Indirect effects on herbivores and higher trophic level arthropods can occur i...

    Response of Mythimna unipuncta Males to Components of the Sesamia nonagrioides Pheromone

    Several sympatric lepidopteran species feed on maize plants, and the different components of their species-specific female sex pheromones may play a role in attracting conspecifics and/or deter heterospecific ...

    Pheromone Antagonism in the European Corn Borer Moth Ostrinia nubilalis

    Mixing the sex pheromones of the Mediterranean corn borer, Sesamia nonagrioides, and the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis, results in significantly lower captures of O. nubilalis when compared to traps loa...
