Classical biological control of the brown marmorated stink bug ( <i>Halyomorpha halys</i> ) in apple orchard: a success story
The release of T. japonicus in Trentino demonstrated effective control of BMSB, reducing pesticide use and fruit damage, thereby highlighting the potential of CBC as a sustainable pest management strategy against invasive alien pests. Further long-term studies are recommended to optimize and expand this approach. © 2025 The Author(s).
