- Aphid parasitoids in biological control (2012, background): “Biological control through inundative or inoculative releases is currently applied in greenhouses where it gives the best results (van Lenteren 2000).”
- Complementary biocontrol of aphids by the ladybird beetle Harmonia axyridis and the parasitoid Aphelinus asychis on greenhouse roses (2004, neutral): “Also, long re-entry times following pesticide application make it very difficult for growers to complete the time-intensive management that cut flower production requires ( van Lenteren, 2000 ), and so by avoiding human exposure to pesticides, biological control can be very attractive to growers.”
- Biological control and sustainable food production (2008, methodology): “Examples include the control of whiteflies, leafminers, thrips, aphids and mites by parasitoids and predators in greenhouses (van Lenteren 2000a).”
- Biological control using invertebrates and microorganisms: plenty of new opportunities (2018, background): “In the 1980s there was a similar drastic change from chemical to biological control in vegetable production in Northwest Europe (van Lenteren 2000), though this was not caused by a pesticide scandal like the one concerning sweet pepper production in Spain (Greenpeace 2007), but by growers…”
- 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).”
