Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reuter, 1895) (Hemiptera: Miridae) is the most widely used biological control agent of tomato pests, particularly leafminer. Five treatments, spinetoram, chlorantraniliprole + abamectin, thiamethoxam, emamectin benzoate and dimethoate were tested on N. under greenhouse conditions in summer autumn 2018 Malatya Province, Turkey. After insecticide application, counted days 1, ...

Abstract Tuta absoluta and Bemisia tabaci are two key worldwide tomato pests. In response to chemical control limits, the use of zoophytophagous mirid predators as biocontrol agents is being increasingly studied proposed for management these However, some species in particular Nesidiocoris tenuis , which naturally occurs European crops controversial due its ability inflict significant damage on...

Abstract The generalist predator Nesidiocoris tenuis , an effective biological control agent of numerous pests the tomato crops, can also trigger plant defence mechanisms (direct and indirect) due to its phytophagous behaviour. In southern Europe, is frequently released in greenhouses invasive pest Tuta absoluta sometimes combined with another biocontrol agent, egg parasitoid Trichogramma achae...
