Heteropteran predators have been highlighted over the past decades as important natural enemies of pest arthropods, which has increased interest in their biological and behavioral aspects. Some species belonging to the Miridae family have demonstrated to be effective and have the potential use as biological control agents of important agricultural pests. Macrolophus basicornis (Stal) has …
Brazil has been highlighted globally for the success achieved with the use of biological control agents for pest management. Biological control agents have been successfully employed for several economically important crops. However, in the case of entomophagous insects, these results have been obtained almost exclusively by parasitoids. Although predators also present high potential for …
Biological pest control in greenhouse crops is usually based on periodical releases of mass-produced natural enemies. However, in some cases there are shortcomings in pest control efficacy, which often can be attributed to the poor establishment of natural enemies. Their establishment and population numbers can be enhanced through semiochemical attractants. Herbivore-induced plant volatil…
