Aphidophagous hoverflies reduce foxglove aphid infestations and improve seed set and fruit yield in sweet pepper

Rob Moerkens et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that Eupeodes corollae and Sphaerophoria rueppellii can effectively reduce foxglove aphid infestations in sweet pepper, leading to increased fruit yield and seed set. Under limited prey conditions, hoverfly larvae were not able to complete development, with larvae of Sphaerophoria rueppellii showing significantly longer survival than Eupeodes corollae.

Tomato trichomes are deadly hurdles limiting the establishment of Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae)

Angeliki Paspati et al.

Summary: The study shows that Amblyseius swirskii mites tend to avoid foraging on tomato plants after gaining experience, and their survival on whole tomato plants is significantly lower. This is believed to be due to the impact of trichomes and their secondary metabolites on the plant, particularly acyl sugars, which are highly toxic to the mites and hinder their dispersal on the plant.
