2021, Biological ControlCitation Excerpt :EPNs complete 1–3 generations in a single host and when resources are depleted IJs leave and search for new host. Prior research indicates various levels of efficacy when using EPNs against thrips species (Tomalak, 1994; Helyer et al., 1995; Chyzik et al., 1996; Ebssa et al., 2001a,b; Premachandra et al., 2003; Buitenhuis and Shipp, 2005; Smith et al., 2005; Tomalak et al., 2005; Al-Siyabi et al., 2006; Saffari et al., 2013; Kashkouli et al., 2014). Among various species of thrips, most of research has focused on Western flower thrips Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) (Tomalak et al., 2005).

2017, Crop ProtectionCitation Excerpt :The use of biological control has become an increasingly viable approach to reducing overall thrips populations in many cropping systems (Gao et al., 2012a). Many studies have demonstrated the ability of various natural enemies to suppress F. occidentalis populations, including phytoseiid mites in the genera Neoseiulus, Amblyseius (Manjunatha et al., 1998; Jacobson et al., 2001a; Rahman et al., 2011), the laelapid mite Stratiolaelaps (e.g., Stratiolaelaps scimitus Womersley; formerly placed in the genus Hypoaspis) and Hypoaspis (e.g., Hypoaspis aculeifer Canestrini) (Berndt et al., 2004; Wu et al., 2014a), anthocorid flower bugs of the genus Orius (Riudavets, 1995; Funderburk et al., 2000; Chow et al., 2010), entomopathogenic nematodes (Ebssa et al., 2001, 2004), and fungal pathogens (Ugine et al., 2005; Gao et al., 2012b). Unfortunately, none of them alone can provide satisfactory control results (Berndt, 2002).

2016, Biological ControlCitation Excerpt :These soil-dwelling phases are vulnerable to soil-dwelling predators and pathogens (Ansari et al., 2008; Berndt et al., 2004a; Buitenhuis and Shipp, 2005; Ebssa et al., 2001). Several studies have demonstrated good efficacy of soil-dwelling predators, i.e. Dalotia (=Atheta) coriaria (Kraatz), Stratiolaelaps miles (Berlese) and Hypoaspis aculeifer (Canestrini) (Berndt et al., 2004a,b; Carney et al., 2002; Echegaray and Cloyd, 2013); soil treatments of entomopathogenic fungi, i.e. Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin and Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) (Ansari et al., 2007, 2008; Brownbridge, 1995, 2006; Skinner et al., 2012); and entomopathogenic nematodes such as Steinernema spp. and Heterorhabditis spp. (Buitenhuis and Shipp, 2005; Ebssa et al., 2001, 2004, 2006; Premachandra et al., 2003a,b). However, when pest pressures are high, use of a single biocontrol agent rarely delivers the necessary level of control, requiring supplemental use of chemical sprays (which can disrupt a biocontrol program) or use of a suite of natural enemies to prevent damaging populations developing (Arthurs and Heinz, 2006; Brownbridge et al., 2013).
