Background

Risk assessments with biological control agents (BCA)

  • Need to be conducted with specialists and generalists
  • Selection of species for host range testing is important

Assessment of a species selection method

  • PRONTI (priority ranking of non-target invertebrates)
  • Primary driver is prediction of risk posed by BCA to nontarget species

Can these risk predictions be validated?

  • Polistes chinensis as a proxy BCA in kiwifruit orchards
  • Comparison of risk predictions with prey analysis
