Other claims from this paper (8)
- Association Aphid species significantly affected predator egg numbers at all plant stages.
- Association More predator eggs were found on M. persicae-infested than A. solani-infested plants.
- Association Predatory larval numbers were higher on M. periscae-infested plants in two of three experiments.
- Intervention effect M. persicae control was consistently 78%–95% across plant growth stages.
- Intervention effect A. solani control was inconsistent at 36%–80% in the presence of M. persicae.
- Intervention effect A. solani control by A. aphidimyza was significantly greater without M. persicae.
- Mechanism Within-plant prey location can negatively influence control programs in pest complexes as suitability changes through the crop cycle.
- Recommendation Careful monitoring of less-preferred pests and their plant position is recommended.
