Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect O. albidipennis successfully controlled T. urticae on sweet pepper.
- Intervention effect A. swirskii release increased pepper yield by 26% compared with control.
- Intervention effect O. albidipennis release increased pepper yield by 24% compared with control.
- Intervention effect In the second season, O. albidipennis gave the lowest remaining T. urticae density, 2.9 mites/leaf, compared with 20.13 mites/leaf under chemical control.
- Intervention effect O. albidipennis release produced a 31.36% pepper yield increase in the second season.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that O. albidipennis release could reduce chemical applications for pepper pest control.
