Abstract(s)
Over 900 predators were collected during two years from a Portuguese
organic olive orchard, and tested in a serological bioassay for Prays oleae predation.
The highest number of predators tested positive during the phyllophagous and
antophagous generations of P. oleae. Ants were the most commonly found predators,
followed by Coleoptera, Hemiptera and spiders.
