Abstract: | Greenhouses in Turkey under integrated pest management can be colonized by a high number predatory flies of the species Coenosia attenuata Stein, 1903 (Muscidae: Coenosia Meigen, 1826). Studies have shown that Coenosia predators do not simply colonize greenhouses from the outside for short periods but instead they are able to complete their
developmental cycle in the greenhouse soil and can become established there for a long period of time. C. attenuata is indigenous to the Palaeotropical region. Its prey spectrum includes whiteflies, black fungus gnats and leaf-mining flies.
Studies of the natural occurrence of these predaceous flies in greenhouses led to a recognition of the significance of this
complex of beneficials for the control of important greenhouse pests. They can build up effective populations under greenhouse
conditions, and as non-specific predators can feed on a variety of pest groups and on innocuous species. |
