The Fitness of Mass Rearing Food on the Establishment of <i>Chrysopa pallens</i> in a Banker Plant System under Fluctuating Temperature Conditions

Banker plant systems can be used to sustain a reproducing population of biological control agents (BCAs) within a crop, thus providing long-term pest suppression. The founder population of natural enemies in banker plant systems is usually mass-reared on factitious hosts. Thus, a better understandin...
