“…Additionally, according to M. Pérez-Hedo, C. Riahi and A. Urbaneja the use of E. formosa in conjunction with other natural enemies, such as predators and entomopathogens, could create a more comprehensive and resilient pest management program 23) . The study by A. Chailleux et al demonstrated that inoculative release of E. formosa increased the effectiveness of non-biological pest control methods such as insecticide application and mass-trapping 24) . Thus, the conclusions about the prospects of using this parasitoid as an element of integrated control are confirmed by the researchers' data.…”

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of biological and non-biological methods of controlling pests of agricultural plants in the Mediterranean region based on open data. During the study, analysis methods and comparison of selected studies on pest management were used. Additionally, a synthesis was performed to identify the optimal methods that are both highly effective and environmentally conscious for controlling these pests. The chosen studies provided a dataset on control application methods, precise quantities, usage conditions, timing details, and corresponding efficiency percentages. As a result, it was determined that the potential of Encarsia formosa as a promising biological agent for the control of the greenhouse whitefly. Additionally, it was found that many pests of fruit and vegetable crops are characterized by seasonal activity peaks. Thus, the optimal timing of biological control is key to success. It was suggested that the seasonal inoculative release of Encarsia formosa, combined with the active use of traps and the limited use of insecticides, is the most effective sustainable method of controlling the greenhouse whitefly. From a practical point of view, this study offers an optimal approach to the use of Encarsia formosa as a biological pest control method for agriculture in the Mediterranean region.

“…The long‐distance transmission of T. absoluta depends mainly on the trade activities of agricultural products (Campos et al, 2017; Desneux et al, 2010). With the accelerated development of international trade and economic globalisation, T. absoluta has been distributed to more than 90 countries outside South America so far (Chailleux et al, 2022; Desneux et al, 2022; El‐Refai & Abdemaksoud, 2022).…”

The Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) originated in South America and is a major pest of the economically critical solanaceous crops. It is devastating to tomatoes, attacking mainly the leaves, stems, flowers and fruits of tomato plants, and can cause up to 100% damage. T. absoluta invaded China in 2017 and expanded rapidly, severely impacting the tomato industry. To illustrate the detailed potential distribution of T. absoluta in China, we used CLIMEX and MaxEnt models to predict the potential distribution of this pest using historical and future climate data. CLIMEX predicts a wider potential distribution area for T. absoluta in China than MaxEnt, which suggests that most of China is suitable for its distribution, except for the Tarim Basin in southern Xinjiang, western Inner Mongolia and northwestern Gansu. Both models accurately predicted the known distribution of T. absoluta in the provinces of Yunnan and Guangxi, and the predictions by both models suggest the total distribution range of T. absoluta in China is to increase slightly with future changes in climate temperature. These predictions will help understand the influence of climate change on the potential distribution of T. absoluta in China and thus provide a theoretical foundation for developing early monitoring, quarantine and control strategies.
