Two in one: the neotropical mirid predator Macrolophus basicornis increases pest control by feeding on plants

Diego Bastos Silva et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that the phytophagy behavior of the mirid predator Macrolophus basicornis can indirectly enhance tomato plant resistance. This research paves the way for a novel and sustainable pest-management strategy in the neotropical region.

Summary: Ecologists study population regulation, while scientists studying biological pest control apply population regulation processes to reduce harmful organisms. Evaluation criteria and pest kill rates are used to select effective biological control agents to reduce pest damage to crops.
