ABSTRACT The polyphagous tarnished plant bug (TPB), Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois) (Hemiptera: Miridae), inflicts substantial damage to strawberries and several other valuable crops, impacting both yield quantity quality. Effective control strategies are crucial mitigate these losses. This study aimed elucidate TPB host preferences reproductive behaviours under various integrated pest management approaches. Experimental arenas with strawberry plants included treatments involving the predator Nabis americoferus (Carayon) Nabidae) trap crops. In each arena, 30 adult TPBs were exposed different configurations: (i) three plants, (ii) predators, (iii) one alongside two crop (buckwheat canola), (iv) crops predators. distribution among species sites (flower, stem adaxial abaxial leaves) monitored over 72 h. One week later, adults removed number of emerged first instar nymphs (L1) was recorded times postexperiment. results indicate a preference shift in behaviour influenced by diversity presence. exhibited reduced presence on when introduced, canola as preferred plant. for supported higher offspring counts. Conversely, buckwheat, although less preferred, contributed diluting populations across species. introduction N. showed dual effects: While reducing oviposition canola, it increased strawberries, highlighting importance nonconsumptive effects (NCEs) predators agroecosystems.
