Key Points

• Improved efficacy is observed in targeted predatory insects, particularly Orius strigicollis.
• Efficacy against Frankliniella intonsa shows a 30% increase after artificial selection methods were applied.
• The analysis uses a combination of field testing and controlled environment evaluations to assess outcomes.
• The approach highlights sustainable pest management solutions but requires validation across various environments.
