- Intervention effect E. corollae treatment reduced aphid numbers by 93.2% against control.
- Intervention effect S. rueppellii treatment reduced aphid numbers by 78.4% against control.
- Intervention effect E. corollae increased fruit yield by 390%.
- Intervention effect S. rueppellii increased fruit yield by 361%.
- Intervention effect E. corollae increased seed set by 395%.
- Observation Limited prey prevented hoverfly larvae from completing development.
- Association With limited prey, S. rueppellii larvae survived significantly longer than E. corollae larvae.
- Recommendation Repeated hoverfly releases, potentially with other natural enemies, may suppress A. solani infestations.
