This work aimed to optimize olive fruit fly (OFF) Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae) monitoring and integrated management, thereby ensuring optimal and less-costly decision-making and timely intervention. Field trials in Andalusia (Spain) were undertaken over 2 years to optimize trap model, color, size, and density for the accurate determination of pest spatial distribution and damage as a function of olive cultivar. McPhail traps and yellow sticky panels outperformed the other 4 models with respect to the number of OFF captured.

is a highly effective natural enemy for controlling thrips, tetranychids, aphids, and various Lepidoptera pests. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms underlying its interactions with host pests remain unclear. Screening for optimal reference genes is a prerequisite for using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to investigate the interrelationship.

Compared with traditional biological control, the co-use of entomopathogenic fungi and multiple enemies has made great progress in biocontrol technology. However, the risk posed by entomopathogenic fungi to their host has not been fully evaluated. Further, the interaction between them has not described adequately.
