Impact of net houses on the natural regulation of the populations of Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) and Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), two major tomato pests in Kenya

Anais Chailleux et al.

Summary: Abandoning insecticide treatments to achieve sustainable crop production requires a combination of methods for satisfactory pest control. Net houses and biological control are promising methods, though they may prevent most natural enemies from entering.

Summary: The study found that Cleome hassleriana and Sesamum indicum were able to fully support the development and reproduction of N. tenuis, while Verbena x hybrida and tomato were not.

Augmenting Nesidiocoris tenuis (Nesidiocoris) with a Factitious Diet of Artemia Cysts to Control Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) on Tomato Plants under Greenhouse Conditions

Takeshi Saito et al.

Summary: Nesidiocoris tenuis can effectively reduce the population of greenhouse pests like whiteflies by proliferating and spreading among tomato plants, but optimizing their biological control potential is still a challenge.

Exploring the Kairomone-Based Foraging Behaviour of Natural Enemies to Enhance Biological Control: A Review

Pascal M. Ayelo et al.

Summary: Kairomones are chemical signals that mediate interspecific interactions beneficial to organisms that detect the cues. Natural enemies eavesdrop on kairomones during foraging behavior and are likely to elicit stronger olfactory responses in natural enemies. Kairomone-based lures can be used to reduce insect pest populations and crop damage in an environmentally friendly way, and future studies should focus on the application of kairomone blends to improve biological control strategies.

Terpenes from herbivore-induced tomato plant volatiles attract Nesidiocoris tenuis (Hemiptera: Miridae), a predator of major tomato pests

Pascal M. Ayelo et al.

Summary: The study found that Nesidiocoris tenuis is more attracted to tomato volatiles when the plants are infested by Tuta absoluta, but not necessarily by Trialeurodes vaporariorum. The predator is also attracted to T. absoluta larval frass, but not to T. vaporariorum honeydew or T. absoluta sex pheromone.
