“…By releasing these natural predators into the environment, greenhouse growers can effectively reduce thrips populations in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. O. similis , the predominant species in southern, shows promise as an effective control agent (Mo et al., 2013; Sun et al., 2012).…”

Orius similis Zheng, a predatory bug that feeds on Frankliniella occidentalis (Pergande), a pest that damages vegetables and ornamental plants by feeding and transforming plant viruses. O. similis is an omnivorous predator on thrips, as well as pollen. Our study investigated the impact of five different amount densities of thrips and abundant loofah pollen on the survival, development, fecundity, and consumption of O. similis. The performance of O. similis nymphs and adults was significantly affected by the density of thrips and loofah pollen on which they fed. The highest survival and shortest development period of O. similis nymphs after feeding on 40 thrips/d, while the lowest survival rate and longest period were observed after feeding on only 5 thrips. Feeding on loofah pollen alone also significantly increased survival and decreased the nymph development period compared with feeding on 20 thrips/d. The highest prey consumption occurred at densities of 30 and 40 thrips/d, while the lowest prey consumption occurred at a thrips density of 5, regardless of whether the O. similis were nymphs or female adults. However, adding loofah pollen decreased prey consumption of nymphs and adult females. In addition, O. similis showed higher fecundity and longevity when feeding on 40 thrips/d compared to other thrips densities and adding loofah pollen. Adding loofah pollen also increased fecundity and longevity compared to feeding on thrips alone at the same density, regardless of the thrips' density. Therefore, a high thrips abundant density daily was beneficial for the development, fecundity, and longevity of O. similis, and adding loofah pollen can enhance their performance.

“…Notably, macrobials like anthocorid bugs (Orius spp. ), green lacewing species, predatory phytoseiid mites, and predaceous laelapid mites have shown significant efficacy in combating thrips infestation at different life stages [70][71][72][73][74][75]. These biological control agents specifically target first instar thrips on foliage and thrips pupae in soil, offering promising potential for managing plant viruses and their vectors [76].…”

Lilies are important crops that are commonly used as cut flowers (Lilium spp.) and edible bulb crops (Lilium davidii var. unicolor). However, virus infections can significantly impact the quantity and quality of lily production. Various methods have been developed to eliminate viruses in lilies, including in vitro culture and virus detection techniques. Meristem culture is the most effective method, which can be combined with other techniques such as thermotherapy and chemotherapy. Nonetheless, virus elimination is affected by several factors, including cultivar, explants used, virus type, and duration of treatments. Efficient diagnostic methods, such as serological and molecular techniques, have been developed to detect viral infections in lilies, including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (real-time RT-PCR). However, cross-contamination and multiple-virus contamination can lead to unreliable results, and more sophisticated protocols and systems have been developed to address these issues. The objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive overview of the development of lily virus eradication, detection strategies, challenges, and solutions associated with these procedures, and how more sophisticated approaches such as multiplex RT-PCR, indirect ELISA (ID-ELISA), immunocapture RT-PCR (IC-RT-PCR), and immunochromatographic test strips (ICSs) can alleviate some of these setbacks.

Frankliniella occidentalis is an economically important invasive pest worldwide, which can damage various horticultural crops and ornamental plants. F. occidentalis was first intercepted in Kunming, Yunnan province in 2000, and first reported to establish a population in Beijing, China in 2003. Since then, this pest is currently distributed across tens of provinces in mainland China and cause increasingly serious damage and loss. To control this pest, invasion biology, monitoring, and integrated pest management have been generally and intensively studied for 15 years in China. Furthermore, western flower thrips (WFT) as an important invasive insect pest, the research achievements on WFT has contributed to the promotion of technological innovation and development for invasive alien species management strategies and techniques in China. This review provides an overview for research on the biology, ecology, prevention, and management of this pest during 15 years in China. Meanwhile, China's "4E action" strategy on F. occidentalis is also discussed in this review. K E Y W O R D S Frankliniella occidentalis, integrated pest management, invasion biology, invasive alien species, monitoring *Bin Zhang and Wanqiang Qian contributed equally to this work.
