Citations in the corpus

• Environmental risk assessment of exotic natural enemies used in inundative biological control (2003, background): “Although this seems a logical approach, in the last four decades many exotic biological control agents were imported and released without thorough evaluation of the properties of native natural enemies that could have been candidates for inundative biological control (e.g. van Lenteren, 2000, 2003).”
• Augmentative biological control of arthropods in Latin America (2003, background): “Now it is applied for reasons of efficacy and costs, which are comparable with or lower than conventional chemical control (Gutierrez et al., 1999; van Lenteren, 2000a).”
• Use of predatory mites in commercial biocontrol: current status and future prospects (2018, background): “The total number of arthropod species commercially available for augmentative biological control worldwide was about 125 in 2000 (van Lenteren 2000).”
• 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).”
• Do new Access and Benefit Sharing procedures under the Convention on Biological Diversity threaten the future of biological control? (2010, background): “…centralised production units are government or grower-industry owned and produce natural enemies for a particular niche, normally large-scale agriculture or forestry, which are either provided free or sold to users (van Lenteren 2000; van Lenteren and Bueno 2003; Parra et al. 2002; Case Study 13).”
• Can generalist predators be effective biocontrol agents? (2003, background): “Also, where crops produced by organic or IPM methods command a higher price from consumers, the economics of augmentative release will improve (230).”
• Suggestions for unifying the terminology in biological control (2001, background): “Examples of this are the releases of Encarsia formosa Gahan (Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae) and other natural enemies, now commonly practised in glasshouses (Eilenberg et al., 2000; van Lenteren, 2000).”
