Abstract The generalist predator Nesidiocoris tenuis , an effective biological control agent of numerous pests the tomato crops, can also trigger plant defence mechanisms (direct and indirect) due to its phytophagous behaviour. In southern Europe, is frequently released in greenhouses invasive pest Tuta absoluta sometimes combined with another biocontrol agent, egg parasitoid Trichogramma achaeae . this study, using olfactometer bioassays, we showed that modification volatile chemical profile induced by feeding activity mirid made plants more attractive T. achaeae, both absence presence eggs or larvae. This result was discussed relation difference observed among profiles organic compounds punctured N. without combination infestation. We found a few ( e.g. β -pinene myrcene) could play role foraging behaviour scenario Overall, our data support emerging idea ecological addition predatory activity, making crops resilient against attack pests, including absoluta.

The chemical application is considered one of the most crucial methods for controlling insect pests, especially in intensive farming practices. Owing to application, pests are exposed toxic insecticides along with other stress factors environment. Insects require energy and resources survival adaptation cope these conditions. Also, insects use behavioral, physiological, genetic mechanisms combat stressors, like new environments, which may include chemicals insecticides. Sometimes, continuous selection pressure metabolically costly, leads resistance development through constitutive upregulation detoxification genes and/or target-site mutations. These actions costly can potentially affect biological traits, including reproduction parameters key variables that ultimately overall fitness insects. This review synthesizes published in-depth information on costs induced by insecticide past decade. It thereby highlights resistant populations might help design integrated pest management (IPM) programs spread populations.

Abstract Semiochemical use is a promising way to reduce damage from pests by improving natural control in agro‐ecosystems. The aphid alarm pheromone ( E )‐β‐farnesene (EβF) and herbivore‐induced methyl salicylate (MeSA) are two volatile cues induce changes behavior with functional significance. Because of limitations related the volatility oxidization EβF MeSA under conditions, slow‐release antioxidant techniques should be developed optimized before application. Here, alginate bead mixed was first designed manufactured. We hypothesized that mixture these semiochemicals could effective controlling Sitobion miscanthi wheat crops. Both beads were released stably continuously for at least 15 days laboratory, whereas paraffin oil pure only 2 7 days, respectively.

The tomato leaf miner (TLM), Tuta absoluta (Meyrick), is an invasive pest found worldwide. Sustainable control strategies aimed at increasing biological approaches and decreasing chemical inputs are required, due to the tendency develop insecticide resistance. In this study, lethal sublethal effects of four insecticides (abamectin, indoxacarb, chlorantraniliprole, spinosad) entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) on a widespread TLM egg parasitoid, Trichogramma brassicae Bezdenko, were estimated. Concentration mortality response bioassays enabled estimation concentrations tested for parasitoids, with chlorantraniliprole having lowest LC50 indoxacarb highest. LC25 sprayed eggs then offered three time intervals parasitoids. fertility other life table parameters individuals emerging from treated All insecticides, but not fungus, had harmful T. brassicae. applications caused 3.84-5.17 times reduction in net reproductive rate (R0) compared control.

Egg parasitoids of herbivorous insects use an interplay short- and long-range chemical cues emitted by hosts host plants to find eggs parasitize. Volatile compounds that attract egg can be identified via behavioral assays used manipulate parasitoid behavior in the field for biological control pests. However, how when a particular cue will varies over life individual, as well at below species level. Future research should expand taxonomic coverage explore variation more natural, dynamic settings. More nuanced understanding variability host-finding strategies aid disentangling underlying genetics further enhancing control.
