“…Thus, these results indicate that replacing or incorporating the banker plant system with the release of T. evanescens in an integrated pest control program is useful in maintaining a high number of biological predators to minimize the effect of harmful insect pests, reduce the use of insecticides, and delay the emergence of insecticide resistance in pest species. Our results agree those of many previous studies that have analyzed the use of plants to sustain a reproducing population of natural enemies within a crop system to provide long-term pest suppression 30,31,32,12,33 .…”

To confront global demand to reduce the use of pesticides and its risk, this study tested the effectiveness of okra and corn as banker plants with Trichogramma evanescens release as a green innovation technology for the sustainable management of cotton bollworms in comparison to conventional chemical pesticides and the release of T. evanescens alone (control). We found that okra and corn with T. evanescens release were more effective in decreasing the incidence of cotton bollworms than the conventional chemical pesticides or T. evanescens alone. We also found that okra and corn encouraged the spread of bollworm natural enemies in the treated cotton fields, which had a large impact on the number of cotton bollworm larvae, thus reducing the need for conventional pesticides. Thus, banker plants combined with T. evanescens release can support agrobiodiversity and help realize the Sustainable integrated management strategies of the cotton bollworm by reducing the use of conventional chemical pesticides, encouraging the natural enemies. Thus, contributing to global warming reduction which caused by the overuse of conventional chemical pesticides.

“…En cualquier caso, es evidente que las estrategias de suplementación de las sueltas de enemigos naturales con alguna dieta alternativa, ya sea con polen o a través del uso de plantas refugio de pulgón, podrían ser plenamente aprovechadas por nuestras razas seleccionadas de O. laevigatus. Son muchas las evidencias que sugieren que un alimento suplementario puede mantener una gran diversidad de depredadores en condiciones de cultivo muy diversas , aunque tales alimentos se aplican aún con poca frecuencia (Seko et al 2019, Pandey et al 2020. Esto se debe en parte a que, en muchos casos, las combinaciones de depredadores y alimentos no se han probado a la escala y complejidad de los invernaderos comerciales (Benson y Labbe 2021).…”

Small modifications in greenhouse agroenvironments can have a big impact on the success of biological control programs. For instance, the application of supplemental foods during and after the release of natural enemies onto crop plants, could considerably improve their long-term reproductive and population growth prospects. As such, food supplementation represents a valuable biological control supportive strategy, helping to grow natural enemy populations before pest establishment, akin to creating a standing-army to defend crops against future pest invasions. In many places of the world, food supplementation represents a relatively new but growing component or biological control research, with increasingly better resources available to guide producers, IPM practitioners, or researchers wanting to apply or optimize such strategies to their local agents and environments. In this review, we summarize the current stage of knowledge associated with various supplemental food types, which work best to support specific beneficial arthropods as well as some tools and techniques for successfully applying this biological control-enhancing strategy. We also summarize some current challenges to the use of supplemental foods and discuss what future research is needed to adapt and optimize food supplementation for a diversity of natural enemy species.
