Abstract

Management of tomato potato psyllid (TPP; Bactericera cockerelli (Šulc)) predominantly relies on insecticides. However, biological control agents (BCAs) could provide viable alternatives to suppress TPP populations. In this laboratory experiment, we assessed the predatory mite Amblydromalus limonicus (Garman & McGregor) as a BCA of TPP on whole plants of two tomato and two pepper cultivars over a 5-week period.
