“…In-depth ecological knowledge about both pests and their natural enemies in the country of origin may help toward better preparedness and to develop more robust cropping systems. This may apply to both already introduced pests and vectored diseases such as Tuta absoluta (Desneux et al 2010;Zappalà et al 2013), B. tabaci (Tahiri et al 2006), tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), Plutella xylostella, and its parasitoids (Sarfraz et al 2005), and to potential invasive species such as Bactrocera fruit flies (Stephens et al 2007). Robust cropping systems were already developed and tested in the tropics against a range of such pests (Licciardi et al 2008;Vayssieres et al 2009).…”

Agriculture in the twenty-first century faces the challenge of meeting food demands while satisfying sustainability goals. The challenge is further complicated by climate change which affects the distribution of crop pests (intended as insects, plants, and pathogenic agents injurious to crops) and the severity of their outbreaks. Increasing concerns over health and the environment as well as new legislation on pesticide use, particularly in the European Union, urge us to find sustainable alternatives to pesticide-based pest management. Here, we review the effect of climate change on crop protection and propose strategies to reduce the impact of future invasive as well as rapidly evolving resident populations. The major points are the following: (1) the main consequence of climate change and globalization is a heightened level of unpredictability of spatial and temporal interactions between weather, cropping systems, and pests; (2) the unpredictable adaptation of pests to a changing environment primarily creates uncertainty and projected changes do not automatically translate into doom and gloom scenarios; (3) faced with uncertainty, policy, research, and extension should prepare for worst-case scenarios following a "no regrets" approach that promotes resilience vis-à-vis pests which, at the biophysical level, entails uncovering what currently makes cropping systems resilient, while at the organizational level, the capacity to adapt needs to be recognized and strengthened; (4) more collective approaches involving extension and other stakeholders will help meet the challenge of developing more robust cropping systems; (5) farmers can take advantage of Web 2.0 and other new technologies to make the exchange of updated information quicker and easier; (6) cooperationThe views expressed by Stephen R. H. Langrell are purely his own and may not in any circumstances be regarded as stating an official position of the European Commission.

“…Our contribution aims to increase knowledge and thus effi cacy by reducing the diffi culties in the employment of biocontrol plants and thereby promote further acceptance of biological control, which should also become economically more feasible. Fortunately, there is a growing awareness of the importance of biological control as an alternative to chemical control in crop production (Bompard et al, 2013;Desneux et al, 2010;Kleespies et al, 2013;Ragsdale et al, 2012;Zappalà et al, 2012).…”

Studies of interactions between crops, additional plants, pests and benefi cial organisms already exist as well as studies of natural enemy preference, dispersal, and abundance.However, these studies focus on tri-trophic interactions from an "arthropod" point of view. We think that in order to optimize crop protection methods we need to understand the effects that plant structures have on the various arthropods and on subsequent tri-trophic interactions.Although studies and reviews describing the role of secondary plants in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) exist, to date a general term which encompasses all plants added to a cropping system with the aim of enhancing IPM strategies has yet to be formulated. Therefore, we suggest a new term, "biocontrol plants", which we defi ne as plants that are intentionally added to a crop system with the aim of enhancing crop productivity through pest attraction and/or pest regulation; a term that will promote the use of biocontrol services, and can ultimately lead to an increase in the sustainability of cropping systems.

“…La polilla del tomate fue introducida en Europa vía España (2006) y, por su gran capacidad de dispersión, ha llegado prácticamente a todo el continente. Recientemente fue introducida en África y Asia, donde ha causado grandes perjuicios (Desneux et al, 2010). Está presente en los cultivos de tomate bajo cubierta en la Provincia de Entre Ríos, Argentina.…”

Entre estos se encuentra la polilla del tomate Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) la cual ha sido considerada como una de las principales plagas que afectan al cultivo de tomate bajo cubierta. La polilla del tomate produce daño directo por medio de sus larvas que realizan galerías en las hojas, brotes y cáliz de frutos inmaduros, en su proceso alimenticio interfiriendo en la fotosíntesis y el aspecto estético del fruto lo cual provoca graves pérdidas económicas. El trabajo se realizó con el objetivo de evaluar la efectividad de diferentes tipos de trampas caseras con diodos emisores de luces (LEDs) alimentadas con energía solar en combinación con feromona para la captura de adultos de polilla del tomate como alternativa ecológica de control en un cultivo protegido de tomate en Concordia, Argentina. Se probaron diferentes trampas: con luces LEDs 430, 470 nm solas o en combinación con feromona sexual, los cuales fueron comparados con una trampa testigo de feromona sexual. Para ello se realizó una un diseño en bloques completamente al azar con dos repeticiones (invernaderos). Las trampas fueron distribuidas en forma aleatoria y colocadas en los caminos a una distancia equidistante entre ellas parte las cuales fueron rotadas quincenalmente para no producir sesgos en las capturas. Se evaluó el número promedio de capturas totales (adultos de polilla de tomate). Los resultados mostraron que la trampa con LEDs de 470 nm combinada con feromona sexual registró un mayor número de capturas de polilla del tomate respecto al resto de las trampas.
