Life history parameters for Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reuter) (Het., Miridae) under different temperature regimes (2009, background): “Minimum temperatures in summer are above 10 C and average around 25 C, with maximum values above 35 C and temperatures higher than 30 C during more than 20% of the day (Sanchez et al. 2000; Sanchez 2008).”
Benefits and risks of exotic biological control agents (2011, unknown): “Several species of the mirid genera Macrolophus, Dicyphus and Nesidiocoris (Hemiptera: Miridae), however, have been noted to cause feeding damage to certain crops when their population densities are high and their arthropod prey have become scarce (Albajes et al. 2006; Sanchez 2008).”
The combined use of Bacillus thuringiensis and Nesidiocoris tenuis against the tomato borer Tuta absoluta (2011, background): “When this predator feeds directly from vegetative and reproductive parts of the plant, it produces necrotic rings on stems and leaf petioles, it produces flower abortion, and can also puncture tomato fruits, possibly reducing yields (Sánchez 2008).”
