Data on natural enemies of psyllids are rare and can usually be found in papers about economically significant species. During an investigation of psyllid fauna in Serbia, natural enemies were investigated, too. True bugs were the most numerous among them. From 28 psyllid species, 21 species of true bugs from families Anthocoridae and Miridae were reared. Seven species of Anthocoridae were iden...

Drosophila suzukii has been recorded in the UK since the end of 2012. To date, reports of serious damage have been rare. Previous research has demonstrated that there are chemicals available within the UK that are efficient in dealing with D. suzukii. However, few effective chemicals for use by the organic sector have been identified; equally the addition of "new" insecticides into previously s...

Anthocoris nemoralis (F.) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) is one of the most prominent predators of the pear psylla, Cacopsylla pyricola (Forster) (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) and is considered as a biological control agent against this pest. In order to investigate the effects of plant varieties on predation of C. pyricola by A. nemoralis, the functional response of both the sexes of A. nemoralis to pear ...

Bu çalışma Tekirdağ İli’nde Malkara, Saray, Süleymanpaşa ve Şarköy ilçelerinde Tingidae familyası türlerinin doğal düşmanları yayılışlarını saptamak amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Sörveyler 2011-2012 yıllarında odunsu bitkiler üzerinde yapılmıştır. Arazi çıkışları Nisan ayı başı-Ekim sonu arasında, 10 gün aralıklarla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Örneklemelerde darbe gözle kontrol yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. s...

Abstract Anthocoris nemoralis is the dominant predator of pear sucker ( Cacopsylla pyri ) in UK. migrates into orchards spring or introduced as a biocontrol agent, reaching peak population levels July-August, contributing to effective control summer populations. However, due temperature dependent development and metabolism there are concerns that C. populations feeding rates may increase changi...
