A new species of encyrtid wasp, Metaphycus macadamiae Polaszek Noyes sp. n., (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae: Encyrtinae) is described as a solitary endoparasitoid of the invasive macadamia felted coccid, ...Acanthococcus ironsidei (Hemiptera: Eriococcidae) in Hawaii. This parasitoid is native to Australia, and the species description is based on material collected from a Macadamia integrifolia Maiden Betche (Proteaceae) plantation in New South Wales, Australia, the native region of the host tree and insect. It is described here because it is a potential biological control agent against this pest where it has recently invaded Hawaii and South Africa.

This technical guide describes the techniques for small-scale rearing of the egg parasitoids Trichogramma spp. in the factitious host Anagasta kuehniella. These parasitoids are among the most widely ...used natural enemies in the world, and in Brazil are used to control lepidopteran pests in a wide variety of crops, including sugarcane, corn, soybean, cotton, vegetables (tomatoes, potatoes), fruit (avocado, citrus, grapes), and tobacco.

Aphids as crop pests,
2007
eBook
Aphids represent one of the world's major insect pests, causing serious economic damage to a range of temperate and tropical crops. These range from grain crops and brassicas to potato, cotton, ...vegetable and fruit crops.This book provides a definitive reference volume on the biology of aphids, their pest status, and how to control them. It includes approximately 30 specially commissioned chapters from world experts, principally from Europe and North America. Topics covered range from host selection and feeding to movement and dispersal, and from insecticide resistance to chemical, cultural and biological control methods. There are also several case study chapters, on integrated pest management in specific crops.

Natural enemies such as predators and entomopathogens are beneficial organisms that attack multiple pests. Natural enemies can also be pest specific, such as parasitoids. This method of control is ...called biological control. These beneficial organisms have been reducing pest populations across commercial and urban environments for decades. This is achieved through their introduction, conservation or augmentation. Their abundance and distribution over landscapes may vary with prey availability, habitat and human intervention of pest management.
Integrated Pest Management: Current Concepts and Ecological Perspective presents an overview of alternative measures to traditional pest management practices using biological control and ...biotechnology. The removal of some highly effective broad-spectrum chemicals, caused by concerns over environmental health and public safety, has resulted in the development of alternative, reduced risk crop protection products. These products, less toxic to the environment and easily integrated into biological control systems, target specific life stages or pest species. Predation — recognized as a suitable, long-term strategy — effectively suppresses pests in biotechnological control systems. Integrated Pest Management covers these topics and more. It explores the current ecological approaches in alternative solutions, such as biological control agents, parasites and predators, pathogenic microorganisms, pheromones and natural products as well as ecological approaches for managing invasive pests, rats, suppression of weeds, safety of pollinators, role of taxonomy and remote sensing in IPM and future projections of IPM. This book is a useful resource to entomologists, agronomists, horticulturists, and environmental scientists. * Fills a gap in the literature by providing critical analysis of different management strategies that have a bearing on agriculture, sustainability and environmental protection * Synthesizes research and practice on integrated pest management * Emphasizes an overview of management strategies, with critical evaluation of each in the larger context of ecologically based pest management
