Bottom-Up Forces in Agroecosystems and Their Potential Impact on Arthropod Pest Management

Peng Han et al.

Summary: Bottom-up effects play a major role in integrated pest management, impacting pest control through irrigation, fertilization, crop resistance, habitat manipulation, organic management practices, and landscape characteristics. These effects contribute to sustainable intensification of agriculture in the context of agricultural transition and climate change.

Enhanced and sustainable control of Myzus persicae by repellent plants in organic pepper and eggplant greenhouses

Jie Wang et al.

Summary: This study found that planting mint and mung bean near ventilation openings in commercial greenhouses significantly reduced the population levels of Myzus persicae over the entire growth period, while celery and coriander mainly reduced aphid infestations during the main harvest period of eggplant. Mint, celery and coriander were also shown to inhibit population growth of M. persicae in laboratory settings, highlighting the potential value of repellent plants in reducing pest populations in the field.

Using crop diversity to lower pesticide use: Socio-ecological approaches

Eva Thomine et al.

Summary: Since the end of World War II, farming practices based on large monocultures and chemical use have had negative effects on the health of farmers and consumers, as well as reduced farmland biodiversity. This has led to agriculture facing challenges in feeding the growing world population with environmentally friendly products while providing a reasonable return for producers. Enhancing biocontrol efficiency could help meet these expectations, with a focus on managing landscape-level crop diversity to reduce pesticide use and enhance conservation biocontrol services.

Biological Control with Trichogramma in China: History, Present Status, and Perspectives

Lian-Sheng Zang et al.

Summary: Trichogramma species are widely used as natural enemies for biological control programs worldwide, with major success in China in controlling economically important lepidopterous pests on agricultural crops. Recent research has focused on identifying traits that contribute to successful biological control and achieving advancements in mass production and release methods of these wasps.

The Fitness of Mass Rearing Food on the Establishment of Chrysopa pallens in a Banker Plant System under Fluctuating Temperature Conditions

Jie Wang et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that the predatory lacewing, Chrysopa pallens, can complete development fed on A. craccivora, and using Corcyra cephalonica eggs for mass rearing does not affect their population development and biological performance, indicating that the eggs of C. cephalonica can be used for mass production of C. pallens in practical applications.
