Use of zoophytophagous mirid bugs in horticultural crops: Current challenges and future perspectives

Meritxell Perez-Hedo et al.

Summary: The use of predatory mirid bugs in horticultural crops has been increasing, as they are zoophytophagous predators with the ability to feed on a wide range of prey. While they can activate plant defenses, challenges such as difficulty in their establishment and plant damage caused by some species exist. Various strategies, including utilizing plant defenses, genetic selection, companion plants, and alternative foods, are being explored to optimize their efficacy as biocontrol agents.

Development and thermal activity thresholds of European mirid predatory bugs

Barbara L. Ingegno et al.

Summary: Generalist predators in Dicyphini play a crucial role in pest control in vegetable crops, with temperature being a significant factor influencing their efficacy as biological control agents. This study assessed the thermal requirements of six Dicyphini species and identified two groups based on their performance at different temperature ranges. The results showed that species varied in their abilities to adapt to different temperature conditions, with larger species appearing better adapted to lower temperatures and smaller species more adapted to higher temperatures.

Climate change alters plant-herbivore interactions

Elena Hamann et al.

Summary: Elevated temperatures, CO2 concentrations, drought stress, and nutrient conditions induce greater food consumption by herbivores. These factors also have direct and indirect effects on herbivore development.

Multiple levels of crosstalk in hormone networks regulating plant defense

Niels Aerts et al.

Summary: Plant hormones play a crucial role in regulating plant interactions with their environment. Hormone crosstalk, involving synergistic, antagonistic, and additive interactions, is essential for tailoring plant responses to diverse microbes and insects. Recent advances have shed light on the mechanisms of hormone crosstalk regulation in plant defense.

Integrated pest management: good intentions, hard realities. A review

Jean-Philippe Deguine et al.

Summary: Integrated Pest Management (IPM) has aimed to promote sustainable agriculture over the past six decades, but global pesticide use continues to rise, impacting farmer livelihoods, biodiversity, and the right to food. Despite good intentions, IPM faces challenges such as multiple definitions, inconsistencies in practice and policies, and lack of farmer engagement.
