The role of tomato plant volatiles mediated by zoophytophagous mirid bugs by Pérez-Hedo, Mertixell, Rambla, Jose L., Granell, Antonio, Urbaneja, Alberto

“…Over the past decade, various strategies for biological control of major pests in protected crops in southern Europe have been successfully implemented. Perhaps the two most relevant and recent successes of biological control have occurred in greenhouse tomatoes and peppers in southeastern Spain (Calvo et al., 2012; van der Blom et al., 2009). …”

Global habitat suitability of Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith) (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae): key parasitoids considered for its biological control by Tepa-Yotto, Ghislain T., Tonnang, Henri E.Z., Goergen, Georg E., Subramanian, S., Kimathi, E.K., Abdel-Rahman, E.M., Flo, D., Thunes, K.H., Fiaboe, K., Niassy, S., Bruce, A., Mohamed, S.A., Tamo, Manuele, Ekesi, S., Saethre, M.G.

“…Model predictions showed particularly high establishment potential of the five hymenopteran parasitoids in areas that are heavily affected by FAW (like the coastal belt of West Africa from Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) to Nigeria, the Congo basin to Eastern Africa, Eastern, Southern and Southeastern Asia and some portions of Eastern Australia) and those of potential invasion risks (western & southern Europe). These habitats can be priority sites for scaling FAW biocontrol efforts. …”
