Landscape effects on the complex of Bactrocera oleae parasitoids and implications for conservation biological control (2009, background): “Our purpose was to investigate the effects of landscape structure on the parasitoid complex of the olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae Rossi, Diptera: Tephritidae), the major key pest of the olive crop (Broumas et al. 2002; Collier and Van Steenwyk 2003; Nardi et al. 2005; Petacchi et al. 2003; Saour ”
Effects of processed kaolin on pests and non-target arthropods in a Spanish olive grove (2010, background): “Saour and Makee (2004) also found that a kaolinbased particle film formulation significantly reduced fruit infestation levels.”
