Partial molecular and biological characterization of grapevine leafroll-associated virus 2 isolates from Argentina by Lanza Volpe, Melisa, Moyano, Sabrina Noé, Lijavetzky, Diego, Gomez Talquenca, Gonzalo

“…The presence of this virus in Mendoza (Argentina), has previously been reported but no information is available relative to the genetic variability of GLRaV-2 isolates of and their biological behavior. The molecular characterization of the CP-p19-p24 genes of the local isolates disclosed that they belong to four of the six described GLRaV-2 lineages. …”

Biological control of a non-honeydew producer mediated by a distinct hierarchy of honeydew quality by Tena, Alejandro, Llácer, Elena, Urbaneja, Alberto

“…These results indicate that the presence of different types of honeydews in agroecosystems should be taken into account separately in this and future biological control programs to design proper measures. …”

The predatory mirid Dicyphus maroccanus as a new potential biological control agent in tomato crops by Abbas, Sadek, Pérez-Hedo, Mertixell, Colazza, Stefano, Urbaneja, Alberto

“…To evaluate this predator’s potential as a biological control agent, its life-history traits in the presence and absence of prey [(eggs of Ephestia kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)] on tomato plants were studied under laboratory conditions. …”

Temperature-specific competition in predatory mites: Implications for biological pest control in a changing climate by Guzman, Celeste, Aguilar-Fenollosa, Ernestina, Sahun, Rosa M., Ramon Boyero, Juan, Vela-López, José M., Wong, Eva, Jaques, Josep A., Montserrat, Marta

“…Climate change is affecting the future of sustainable agriculture, because increasing temperatures may interfere with the functioning of natural enemies that are used in biological pest control. In this work, we examined the role of abiotic conditions in shaping the structure of a simple agricultural community that is dominated by two species of predatory mites (i.e., Eusieus stipulatus and Eusieus scutalis) competing for resources. …”

Orius laevigatus strengthens its role as a biological control agent by inducing plant defenses by Bouagga, Sarra, Urbaneja, Alberto, Rambla, Jose L., Granell, Antonio, Pérez-Hedo, Mertixell

“…These results highlight an interesting facet to the biology of O. laevigatus, in which the ability of the predator to induce defensive responses in sweet pepper plants may serve to improve the biological control of both thrips and whiteflies.…”
