• Nutritional value of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens L.) and its suitability as animal feed – a review (2017, background): “Traditionally, the mass-rearing of insects has been focused on the production of beneficial insects, used as biological control agents for crop protection (Van Lenteren, 2003).”
• Biological control and sustainable food production (2008, background): “Keywords: biological control; integrated pest management; sustainability; genetically modified crops; risks; regulation”
• Arthropod pest management in organic crops. (2007, background): “However, the quality of mass-reared biocontrol agents has improved owing to more efficient production systems (154).”
• Do new Access and Benefit Sharing procedures under the Convention on Biological Diversity threaten the future of biological control? (2010, background): “Of all commercialised species of natural enemies, about 45% are of alien origin (van Lenteren and Tommasini 2003).”
• It is time to bridge the gap between exploring and exploiting: prospects for utilizing intraspecific genetic variation to optimize arthropods for augmentative pest control – a review (2017, background): “These include starting with a large population, keeping large numbers during breeding, outcrossing events, hybridization of strains, and crossing inbred lines (Wajnberg, 1991; Bartlett, 1993; Hoekstra, 2003; Nunney, 2003).”
• Benefits and risks of exotic biological control agents (2011, neutral): “Adults of this ladybird could be collected in large numbers from overwintering sites precluding the requirement for maintaining long term mass cultures (Gillespie et al. 2002; van Lenteren 2003).”
• Harmonia axyridis: an environmental risk assessment for Northwest Europe (2008, background): “In the past 100 years many exotic natural enemies have been imported, mass-reared and released as biological control agents for pest control (Albajes et al. 1999; van Lenteren 2000, 2003; Lynch et al. 2000; USDA 2001; Mason and Huber 2002; Copping 2004).”
• Exotic biological control agents: A solution or contribution to arthropod invasions? (2016, background): “From 1985 through 2000 there was a burgeoning greenhouse industry in Europe and North America and augmentative biological control grew significantly to support this industry (van Lenteren 2003).”
• Biological control using invertebrates and microorganisms: plenty of new opportunities (2018, background): “…research and production facilities, as a result of which many efficient agents have been identified, quality control protocols, mass production, shipment and release methods matured, and adequate guidance for farmers has been developed (van Lenteren 2003, 2012; Cock et al. 2010; Ravensberg 2011).”
