9. Behavioural study on host plants shared by the predator Dicyphus Errans and the prey Tuna Absoluta

Abstract

In the Mediterranean area, the exotic tomato borer Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is responsible for severe yield losses on tomato, its favourite host plant. This multivoltine pest spread very quickly and can survive in adverse climatic conditions. Besides tomato, T. absoluta is reported on other genera and species of Solanaceae family, both cropped and wild, such as potato, aubergine, European black nightshade, datura and Nicotiana glauca.

10. Predatory efficacy of Dicyphus Errans on different prey

Author

Abstract

The palaearctic Dicyphus errans (Heteroptera: Miridae) lives omnivorously on various host plants, preying on small arthropods (including new invasive alien species). These characteristics make it a promising BCA in organic greenhouses. The functional response of a predator (i.e., how the individual rate of prey consumption changes in response to prey density) is a key component to assess its effectiveness in pest control and the stability of its own populations.

14. Approaches to conserving natural enemy populations in greenhouse crops: current methods and future prospects

Abstract

Biological pest control in greenhouse crops is usually based on periodical releases of mass-produced natural enemies, and this method has been successfully applied for decades. However, in some cases there are shortcomings in pest control efficacy, which often can be attributed to the poor establishment of natural enemies. Their establishment and population numbers can be enhanced by providing additional resources, such as alternative food, prey, hosts, oviposition sites or shelters. Furthermore, natural enemy efficacy can be enhanced by using volatiles, adapting the greenhouse climate, avoiding pesticide side-effects and minimizing disrupting food web complexities. The special case of high value crops in a protected greenhouse environment offers tremendous opportunities to design and manage the system in ways that increase crop resilience to pest infestations. While we have outlined opportunities and tools to develop such systems, this review also identifies knowledge gaps, where additional research is needed to optimize these tools.

Abstract

The tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) represents a global threat to commercial tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) production, both in open field and greenhouse. Native to South America, it spread over the Mediterranean Basin, Europe, Africa and part of Asia in only 12 years, and currently it is reported in over 80 countries. Biological control is one of the options for its control and a large number of natural enemies has been reported in association with the pest, both in the areas of origin and of introduction. The egg parasitoid Trichogramma pretiosum, in South America, and the mirid predators Macrolophus pygmaeus and Nesidiocoris tenuis, in Europe and the Mediterranean basin, are used as commercial biocontrol agents. Even if several natural enemies might be promising candidates for biocontrol, their potential role in quantitative pest reduction has been seldom established under practical tomato production conditions. Since climatic suitability indices predict a high probability for continued invasion by T. absoluta, mainly in China and the USA, there is an urgent need for new control options. In order to minimise the use of broad spectrum insecticides, biocontrol techniques should be considered. As tomato is produced seasonally, augmentative biocontrol seems to be the most effective control option, but pest reduction might be optimised by adding conservation biocontrol, and by combining biocontrol within IPM programmes. Here, an overview of predators and parasitoids of T. absoluta in South American and Euro-Mediterranean regions, and their biological control efficacy under laboratory, semi-field and field conditions is provided.
