Observation Six aphid species in four genera were recorded on cereal crops.
Observation Sitobion avenae was among the most prevalent aphids across sites, infesting durum wheat, barley and triticale.
Observation R. padi was among the most prevalent aphids across sites, infesting durum wheat, barley and triticale.
Observation Schizaphis graminum was less frequent.
Observation R. maidis was less frequent.
Observation D. noxia was less frequent.
Observation S. fragariae was found only on oat plants.
Observation Coccinella algerica was observed as a common aphid predator.
Observation Hippodamia variegata was observed as a common aphid predator.
Observation C. undecimpunctata was observed as a common aphid predator.
Observation Episyrphus balteatus was observed as a common syrphid aphid predator.
Observation Lysiphlebus testaceipes was the only parasitoid found from R. padi mummies.
Observation Lysiphlebus testaceipes was found from R. maidis mummies.
Association R. maidis parasitism increased with more introduced L. testaceipes pairs.

Intervention effect E. corollae treatment reduced aphid numbers by 93.2% 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%.
Intervention effect S. rueppellii increased seed set by 399%.
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.
