“…Furthermore, not only is available evidence scarce, but it is strongly overrepresented by studies on tomato plants and omnivorous mirid predators. These results likely mirror the large efforts placed in finding pesticide-free pest management strategies in tomatoes, and in understanding the predatory services provided by different mirid species in this system (e.g., Urbaneja et al, 2012;Pérez-Hedo and Urbaneja, 2016). This research has greatly advanced our knowledge on the net outcome of biocontrol services and laid the foundation for work in other systems.…”

“…Yet, N. tenuis and Macrolophus spp., common biocontrol agents of tomato pests, were used in 6 out of 11 reports ( Table 1). Reports of negative plant effects for N. tenuis, and for other mirid species are perhaps not as surprising, given that they have traditionally varied in status as pests or predators (Lu et al, 2010;McColl et al, 2011;Pérez-Hedo and Urbaneja, 2016). However, this bias in the literature makes it difficult to assess generality of results and importance of actual plant costs for other species.…”

“…Greenhouse observations indicate this damage may even increase when plant are infected by the Pepino Mosaic Virus (Moerkens et al, 2016). More serious plant damage can be caused by the related omnivorous predator N. tenuis (Arnó et al, 2010), making this predator a controversial biological control agent (Pérez-Hedo and Urbaneja, 2016). The results of our study suggest that plant feeding by omnivorous predators can be reduced by endophytes, which may potentially also reduce crop damage caused by the predator's plant feeding.…”

“…Due to the spread of biological plant protection method for meristem potatoes, the use of predaceous Hemiptera in the cultivation of minitubers raises the question of bugs' ability to carry potato viruses. The following bug species were taken for the experiments: O. majusculus Reuter (Anthocoridae), P. (Messelink et al 2013;DeClercq et al 2014;Pérez-Hedo and Urbaneja 2016;Sylla et al 2016).…”
