Abstract
Biological control agents (BCA) can be used against Frankliniella occidentalis as an alternative to conventional insecticides. Amblyseius swirskii, Neoseiulus californicus and Orius laevigatus were applied to the canopy and Macrocheles robustulus and Steinernema feltiae to the soil in single and combined releases. The combination of nematodes in the soil and predatory mites in the canopy caused a more prompt reduction of thrips in flowers.
