| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of biological and non-biological methods of controlling pests of agricultural plants in the Mediterranean region based on open data. During the stud...y, analysis methods and comparison of selected studies on pest management were used. Additionally, a synthesis was performed to identify the optimal methods that are both highly effective and environmentally conscious for controlling these pests. The chosen studies provided a dataset on control application methods, precise quantities, usage conditions, timing details, and corresponding efficiency percentages. As a result, it was determined that the potential of Encarsia formosa as a promising biological agent for the control of the greenhouse whitefly. Additionally, it was found that many pests of fruit and vegetable crops are characterized by seasonal activity peaks. Thus, the optimal timing of biological control is key to success. It was suggested that the seasonal inoculative release of Encarsia formosa, combined with the active use of traps and the limited use of insecticides, is the most effective sustainable method of controlling the greenhouse whitefly. From a practical point of view, this study offers an optimal approach to the use of Encarsia formosa as a biological pest control method for agriculture in the Mediterranean region.show more
