biological control

Notes: Classical biological control could represent the most promising method for the long-term management of Toumeyella parvicornis in newly invaded areas. This study, based on an entomological expedition to Turks and Caicos Islands, allowed the discovery and selection of the coccinellid predator Thalassa montezumae as a potential biological control agent.
