Article Synopsis
  • The Asian coleopteran (Chevrolat), an invasive species in Europe, negatively impacts mulberry trees.
  • Researchers tested three different pheromone and attractant mixtures to monitor adult populations over two years in Athens, Greece.
  • Attractant 3 was the most successful in trapping the beetles, suggesting that certain components like α-pinene and ipsenol significantly enhanced its effectiveness for pest management strategies.

The effect of spent coffee grounds (SCG), brewer's spent grains (BSG) and their mixtures with the addition of brewer's yeast (BY) were tested in two rearing densities of the Black Soldier Fly, (L.). Different treatments were investigated on larval development, survival, yield, protein conversion (PrCR) and bioconversion rate (BCR), substrate mass reduction and body composition of the insect.

The genus Physokermes Targioni Tozzetti includes species that are distributed in the Holarctic region and feed on conifers. The recently described scale Physokermes hellenicus (Kozár and Gounari) (Hemiptera: Coccidae) is an endemic species of Greece whose host plants are fir trees of the genus Abies (Pinales: Pinaceae). It is considered as beneficial scale insect species since its honeydew secretions are exploited by honeybees leading to the production of a special honey with important physicochemical characteristics.

Euseius stipulatus (Athias-Henriot) is a predatory mite widespread in the Mediterranean region considered to be important for the biological control of spider mites in citrus orchards. Development, survival and reproduction of this phytoseiid mite feeding on seven commercially obtained pollen were studied under constant laboratory conditions (20 +/- 1 degrees C, RH 65 +/- 5%, photoperiod 16L: 8D h). Mites were kept individually at rearing units with ample quantity of almond (Prunus amygdalus Batch), apple (Malus domestica Borkh), apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.
