As non-chemical methods are not always effective to manage pests, the search for chemical solutions that efficiently combat pest species, while safeguarding the environment and beneficial organisms, is essential for advancing effective Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. Here, we investigated the efficacy of commercially available pesticides in managing , an emerging threat in the cultivation of tomato in Northwest Europe, while preserving the biocontrol agent . Fourteen pesticides were assessed for their residual toxicity on adults and nymphs in laboratory experiments, after which the most promising candidate was evaluated in cages and semi-commercial greenhouse conditions. Among the pesticides tested, chlorantraniliprole, hexythiazox, tebufenozide and azadirachtin had minimal impact on both insect species, with less than 37.5% corrected mortality. Pirimicarb, sulfoxaflor, acetamiprid, flupyradifurone, thiacloprid, tebufenpyrad, spinosad, indoxacarb, and a mixture of pyrethrins and piperonyl butoxide were harmful to , but also affected (up to 100% mortality). Emamectin benzoate was moderately effective to adults (87%) and nymphs (80%), but had limited effects on . Application of emamectin benzoate at the maximum recommended concentration resulted in a significantly higher mortality of adults (85%) compared to (53%) in cage experiments, while it significantly reduced nymphs and the number of necrotic rings in a greenhouse experiment. Emamectin benzoate emerges as a promising candidate for inclusion in IPM programs. However, further research is necessary to determine its compatibility with other management strategies for controlling and other tomato pests.

农药对 Nesidiocoris tenuis Reuter（半翅目：Miridae）的功效，这是西北欧番茄种植中的一个新威胁

由于非化学方法并不总是有效地管理害虫，因此寻找有效对抗害虫物种、同时保护环境和有益生物的化学解决方案对于推进有效的综合害虫管理 (IPM) 计划至关重要。在这里，我们研究了市售农药在管理西北欧番茄种植中的新威胁方面的功效，同时保留了生物防治剂。在实验室实验中评估了十四种农药对成虫和若虫的残留毒性，然后在网箱和半商业温室条件下评估了最有希望的候选物。在测试的农药中，氯虫苯甲酰胺、噻唑酮、虫酰肼和印楝素对两种昆虫的影响极小，校正死亡率低于 37.5%。抗蚜威、氟啶虫胺、啶虫脒、氟吡呋酮、噻虫啉、吡虫啉、多杀菌素、茚虫威以及除虫菊酯和胡椒基丁醚的混合物对 疟原虫有害，但也受到影响（死亡率高达 100%）。甲维盐苯甲酸盐对成虫（87%）和若虫（80%）有中等效果，但对 .与笼养实验中的（53%）相比，以最大推荐浓度施用甲维盐导致成虫死亡率（85%）显着升高，而在温室实验中，它显着减少了若虫和坏死环的数量。甲维盐苯甲酸盐成为 IPM 计划中很有前途的候选者。然而，需要进一步研究以确定其与控制番茄害虫和其他番茄害虫的其他管理策略的兼容性。
