Bemisia tabaci (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) represents one of the greatest threats to agricultural crops. Chemical control is the primary tool used in integrated pest management (IPM) programs. However, release of the predator Nesidiocoris tenuis (Hemiptera: Miridae) on tomato plants is a highly recommended control tactic. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of a commercial borax plus citrus oil (BCO) product against B. tabaci in the presence and absence of N. tenuis. The synthetic insecticide lambda‐cyhalothrin was used as a positive control. We also evaluated the sublethal effects of BCO on the behavior and predation rate of N. tenuis.

有害的亚致死效应妨碍了自然和化学农药与番茄烟粉虱的主要天敌结合使用。

烟粉虱（Bemisia tabaci）代表对农作物的最大威胁之一。化学控制是有害生物综合治理（IPM）计划中使用的主要工具。但是，强烈建议在番茄植物上释放捕食者Nesidiocoris tenuis（Hemiptera：Miridae）。这项研究的目的是评估一个商业硼砂加柑橘油（BCO）产品针对功效烟粉虱在存在和不存在N.细叶。合成杀虫剂λ-氟氯氰菊酯用作阳性对照。我们还评价了BCO对猪笼草行为和捕食率的亚致死作用。
