Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Pepper fruits were more appropriate than bean pods for O. insidiosus biological performance, ruling out antibiosis.
- Observation O. insidiosus preferred strawberry plants over pepper plants.
- Mechanism Plant preference could explain low Orius establishment on pepper.
- Observation O. insidiosus exhibited intraguild predation on A. swirskii in the laboratory.
- Recommendation Joint release of the predators warrants caution.
- Recommendation The authors recommend greenhouse and crop spatial-ordering studies for pepper biological control.
