Publikováno v: International Journal of Tropical Insect Science

Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are major constraints on the production and marketing of fruits in African tropical and subtropical countries. In a perspective to manage these fly pests, an inventory of parasitoids associated with fruit flies was

Publikováno v: Biological control in Latin America and the Caribbean: Its rich history and bright future

Several biological control agents have been introduced successfully in French Guiana, Guadeloupe and Martinique: three tachinid dipterans and one hymenopteran for control of sugarcane borers, a ladybird and a hymenopteran parasitoid against the pink

Weaver ants are used for biological control of insect pests in plantation crops.To obtain proper pest control, ant densities need to be high. Food availabilityand nesting facilities on host plants and management practices may affect antperformance. I
