Furthermore, the parasitoid species reared on banker plant systems are not necessarily efficient against all occurring target pest species, such as the potato aphid, Macrosiphum euphorbiae (Thomas), and the foxglove aphid, Aulacorthum solani (Kaltenbach) (Van Driesche et al, 2008;Nagasaka et al, 2010;Prado et al, 2015).

Repeated mass introductions of natural enemies have been widely used as a biological control strategy in greenhouse systems when the resident population of natural enemies is insufficient to suppress the pests. As an alternative strategy, supporting the establishment and population development of beneficials can be more effective and economical. The preventative establishment of predators and parasitoids, before the arrival of pests, has become a key element to the success of biological control programs. This “Predators and parasitoids-in-first” strategy is used both in Inoculative Biological Control (IBC), and in Conservation Biological Control (CBC). Here, we provide an overview of tools used to boost resident populations of biocontrol agents.

“…Consequently, the wasp can be used as a biological agent for several aphid species simultaneously. Species from the genus Aphidius can locate their hosts even at low densities and can be used as preventive measures in green houses (Van Driesche et al 2008) and in field conditions (Starý 2002).…”

Influence of reproductive biology on establishment capacity in introduced Hymenoptera species

et al. 2020

Introduced species face numerous biological barriers before they can establish in a new environment. Understanding how they overcome these obstacles is crucial for the development of effective risk assessment and regulation. Reproductive biology is known to influence establishment capacity in plants and is widely used for risk assessment. This biological field should receive more attention, and particularly in the case of insects, as they display a wide range of reproductive traits and have a great impact on the economy and environment. Among insects, the order Hymenoptera is of interest for its diversity, both in terms of reproductive traits and introduction history, as invasive species and biological control agents. We review the main reproductive strategies of Hymenoptera, spanning parthenogenesis, sex determination and mating strategies, and evaluate their effect on invasive potential. For instance, thelytoky could decrease the strength of Allee effects while Arrhenotoky could increase adaptive potential. A species with complementary sex determination could be more affected by inbreeding than other species, while paternal genome elimination could lead to high levels of homozygosity. Finally, some reproductive behaviours could decrease inbreeding, facilitate mate location or adaptation by encouraging admixture.The two invasive species Apis mellifera scutellata and Leptocybe invasa and the biocontrol agent Aphdius ervi serve as case studies to illustrate the effect of reproductive traits on species capacities to become established in a new area.

“…Our study is focussed on the pest species M. persicae, since it causes direct and indirect crop damages, affecting regional economies in Argentina (Mazzietelli et al, 2018;Ortego & Carrillo, 1995;Pizzoulo et al, 2011). This extremely polyphagous pest attacks more than 800 different ornamental, vegetable, fruit and weed plant species (Davis & Radcliffe, 2008;Kim & Kim, 2004;Van Driesche et al, 2008) and is involved in the transmission of more than 100 plant diseases caused by viruses (Blackman & Eastop, 2000;Blanc et al, 2011). Detailed knowledge about the use of food resources by M. persicae and how this pest species serves as host for parasitoids in the different sub-habitats of the agroecosystems is a valuable first step towards the application of conservation biological control (Damien et al, 2017;Postic et al, 2020;Valladares & Salvo, 1999).…”

Myzus persicae (Sulzer) is a highly polyphagous aphid species that attacks several economically important crop plants. Here, trophic webs involving M. persicae, its host plants and its parasitoids were described and quantified in wheat, oat and alfalfa agroecosystems from central Argentina, with special emphasis on the sub‐habitats where interactions occur: crops and adjacent field margins. Three fields cultivated with each crop species and their margins were sampled during three years; aphid abundance and mummification percentage were compared among crop plants and the diverse natural vegetation in the borders. Interactions were described using a quantitative food web approach, and abundance and mummification percentage e data were analysed using a generalized linear model. Four plant species present in the borders (Capsella bursa‐pastori, Rapistrum sp., Melilotus sp. and Trifolium repens) hosted M. persicae and its parasitoids. The alfalfa agroecosystem produced a significantly higher number of aphids than oat and wheat; however, in all cases, crops and borders sustained similar aphid abundance. A total of six Aphidiinae species attacked M. persicae, with no significant differences in the richness of parasitoid species between the borders and the crops, but with significant differences in parasitoid abundance, being higher in the crops. Mummification percentage were higher in crops than in the borders, with Lysiphlebus testaceipes, Aphidius colemani and A. ervi being the most abundant species. Almost 70% of M. persicae individuals were collected from fields borders, which highlights the importance of including these sites in studies of trophic interactions in crop fields.
