“…When choosing a suitable companion plant species, an important consideration is the duration of flowering and the ability to provide shelter. In a recent study [24], Lobularia maritima L. was used as a companion crop to shelter and feed Orius laevigatus (Fieber) as a BCA in strawberry plantations. The concurrent use of the companion crop and O. laevigatus has proven effective in controlling aphid populations, while O. laevigatus populations were not able to establish themselves on strawberries alone.…”

Biological control, a well-established plant protection method, has garnered substantial attention in recent decades. Various approaches, including biological control agents (BCA), catch crops, biofumigation, sticky traps, and pheromones, have been extensively explored. While the effectiveness of these methods varies depending on specific circumstances, their collective significance has grown amid mounting pressures to curtail or eliminate conventional synthetic plant protection products. Previous review articles have highlighted the benefits of using two or more BCAs simultaneously, yet limited information exists regarding the concurrent use of diverse biological control methods. This comprehensive review incorporates a thorough literature search to assess the benefit of concurrently employing two or more of these methods, followed by a discussion on perspectives of holistic management and mimicking complex natural systems, shedding light on the vast potential and need for further research in this domain.

“…Other strawberry plant pest species, such as aphids and mites, can also act as alternative prey for Orius spp. when thrip density is low (Venzon et al, 2002;Wang et al, 2014;Zuma et al, 2022). Hence, with no thrips present, Orius can survive and reproduce in strawberry crops.…”

“…Here, we define c as the constant oviposition rate of Orius when WFT density is zero. The efficacy of Orius for biological control of M. euphorbiae, mediated by the presence of companion plants and externally supplied alternative prey in strawberry plants, has been evaluated by Zuma et al (2022). We adopt these experimental results for our Orius population in conditions where only M. euphorbiae is present in the strawberry to calculate c (= 0.5) for our model (Appendix C).…”
