Orius laevigatus strengthens its role as a biological control agent by inducing plant defenses
bouagga, sarra; Urbaneja, Alberto; Rambla, José L.; Granell, Antonio; Perez-Hedo, Meritxell Springer (2017-05)Orius laevigatus is a generalist predator that is widely used in augmentative strategies against the key pest of sweet pepper, Frankliniella occidentalis. Despite being a zoophytophagous predator, the phytophagous behavior ... -
Tomato plant responses to feeding behavior of three zoophytophagous predators (Hemiptera: Miridae)
Perez-Hedo, Meritxell; bouagga, sarra; Jaques , Josep A.; Flors, Victor; Urbaneja, Alberto Elsevier (2015-07)Plant responses induced by zoophytophagous plant bugs (Miridae) have not been thoroughly studied. Here, we show that three different zoophytophagous predators (Nesidiocoris tenuis, Macrolophus pygmaeus and Dicyphus maroccanus) ... -
Zoophytophagous mirids provide pest controlby inducing direct defences, antixenosis andattraction to parasitoids in sweet pepper plants
bouagga, sarra; Urbaneja, Alberto; Rambla, José L.; Flors, Victor; Granell, Antonio; Jaques , Josep A.; Perez-Hedo, Meritxell Wiley (2018)BACKGROUND: In addition to their services as predators, mirid predators are able to induce plant defences by phytophagy.However, whether this induction occurs in sweet pepper and whether it could be an additional benefit ...
