Peppers

The pests affecting pepper crops will vary between Northern European and Mediterranean climate zones. Control techniques will also vary depending on crop conditions and climate, as some beneficial species which work well in Northern European climates do not work well in Mediterranean zones. Cultivar is also important: in particular, varieties tolerant of the thrips-transmitted virus disease Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus are less sensitive to thrips.

Note that some beneficial mites or insects may require licences or permits for use in some countries and, therefore, some of the species listed below may not therefore be available.
