“…Among them, there are pests like the wheat midge Contarinia tritici, which has been recorded as prey of Platypalpus pallidiventris (Barnes, 1932). Another possible prey is the frit fly Oscinella frit (Jones, 1965;Stark & Wetzel, 1987). Smaller species of the genus Platypalpus were also recorded to feed on Thysanoptera (Stark, 1994 ).…”

Diptera were caught from 1989 to 1992 on an arable field using emergence traps. Since 1982 the field had been subdivided into four plots (1 0 -I,) treated with increasing amounts of pesticides and inorganic fertilizer (1 1 -I,), or no pesticide and only a minimum of fertilizer (1 0 ). There was a crop rotation of sugar beet (1989 and 1992), winter wheat (1990) and winter barley (1991 ). In addition to the field catches, dead leaves sampled before harvest and crop residues were kept in laboratory emergence traps, as well as droppings of mice and hares, which had been exposed in the field, to obtain Diptera whose larvae develop in these substrates. More than 30 species belonging to 15 families were thus reared, most of them from sugar beet substrates. The highest numbers of individuals were reached by Sciaridae, particularly the species Lycoriella fucorum (FREY, 1948), which developed in every kind of substrate. Some of the other species were more or less restricted to one substrate. The results of the field catches show that in the sugar beet crop the emergence rates of the most abundant species of Sciaridae and Phoridae, as well as the family Cecidomyiidae, decreased with increasing rates of agrochemical usage. In the cereal crops, the reactions of these taxa to increasing input of pesticide and fertilizer were more diverse. This is also true for the most abundant species of Drosophilidae and Hybotidae for all crops.

“…They have a small range of activity compared to other antagonists, and their populations are extremely susceptible to any disturbances. As a study model, predatory flies of the genus Platypalpus may be suitable, because they are important natural antagonists of crop-damaging flies and midges [228][229][230]. Because the larvae of predatory flies develop in the soil [229], active soil life is conducive to the abundance and diversity of species of these natural antagonists.…”

Mineral-Ecological Cropping Systems—A New Approach to Improve Ecosystem Services by Farming without Chemical Synthetic Plant Protection

et al. 2021

The search for approaches to a holistic sustainable agriculture requires the development of new cropping systems that provide additional ecosystem services beyond biomass supply for food, feed, material, and energy use. The reduction of chemical synthetic plant protection products is a key instrument to protect vulnerable natural resources such as groundwater and biodiversity. Together with an optimal use of mineral fertilizer, agroecological practices, and precision agriculture technologies, a complete elimination of chemical synthetic plant protection in mineral-ecological cropping systems (MECSs) may not only improve the environmental performance of agroecosystems, but also ensure their yield performance. Therefore, the development of MECSs aims to improve the overall ecosystem services of agricultural landscapes by (i) improving the provision of regulating ecosystem services compared to conventional cropping systems and (ii) improving the supply of provisioning ecosystem services compared to organic cropping systems. In the present review, all relevant research levels and aspects of this new farming concept are outlined and discussed based on a comprehensive literature review and the ongoing research project “Agriculture 4.0 without Chemical-Synthetic Plant Protection”.

“…The ecological value of this group has been unclear for a long time. However, a number of investigations have shown that adult Platypalpus are important regulators (as very active predators) of the population density of many phytophagous Diptera, including some important pests (Chva ´la 1975;Stark and Wetzel 1987).…”
