Reducing losses inflicted by insect pests on cashew, using weaver ants as a biological control agent by Anato, F.M., Wargui, R.B., Sinzogan, A.A.C., Offenberg, J., Adandonon, A., Vayssières, Jean-François, Kossou, D.K.

“…1 In Benin cashew plantations, yields and nut quality are lost mainly as a result of insect pests. In the present study, we investigated the effectiveness of the African weaver ant Oecophylla longinoda as a biocontrol agent against Beninese cashew pests. 2 In a 2-year study, nut yield and quality were compared among: (i) trees with weaver ants O. longinoda; (ii) trees where weaver ants were sugar-fed; (iii) integrated pest management (IPM) trees with weaver ants combined with fruit fly bait spray; and (iv) control trees receiving no control measures. 3 All treatments with ants showed significantly higher yields than the control, with the IPM treatment leading to the highest yield. …”
