Matching commercial thrips predating phytoseids with the highly diversified climatic conditions of different strawberry production systems

Abstract: Flower inhabiting thrips (Order: Thysanoptera) are a major threat to fruit quality in strawberry production around the world. As chemical control is often inefficient, alternative control measures are of broad and current interest. Their fast reproduction makes predatory mites highly suitable for thrips control in a crop with a relatively short cropping season like strawberry. However, climatic conditions of strawberry production can differ strongly depending on the production system (glasshouse, plastic tunne… Show more

“…The use of biological control in greenhouses is quite successful in practice but still has some challenges, particularly in the cultivation of strawberries requiring a relatively low-temperature regime compared to other greenhouse crops. This, together with the low amount of natural light in winter, hampers the establishment of the population and the development of most natural enemies (Sampson and Kirk, 2016 ; Clymans et al, 2017 ; Vervoort et al, 2017 ; Sampson, 2018 ). On the other hand, relatively high temperatures in summer allow for the rapid development of pest populations in the outdoor tabletops so that natural enemies cannot always keep up.…”
