Side effects of pesticides used in organic and conventional tomato crops on <i>Dolichogenidea gelechiidivoris</i>, a parasitoid of <i>Tuta absoluta</i>
This study highlights substantial variation in the side effects of IPM-compatible pesticides on D. gelechiidivoris. While some products were highly disruptive, others proved more selective and compatible with biological control. These findings support more informed pesticide selection in tomato IPM, balancing effective T. absoluta control with the conservation of key parasitoids. © 2025 The Author(s).
