Biocontrol potential of Chilocorus kuwanae (Silvestri) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) against tea pests in China
The lady beetle Chilocorus kuwanae (Silvestri) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is a dominant predatory species in tea agroecosystems across China. Previous assessments of its biocontrol efficacy have mainly relied on laboratory-based functional response experiments, leaving a gap in understanding its actual prey compositio...
