Growing in popularity as the demand for sustainable food production increases is aquaponics, a symbiotic hybrid of hydroponics and aquaculture. Nonetheless, long-term viability depends on effective and environmentally conscious control of pests like weeds, illnesses, and insects. This review highlights new research on the production and application of biopesticides in aquaponics systems, which represents a significant breakthrough in comprehensive pest management. We highlight the limitations of biopesticide use by assessing production processes, providing a comprehensive analysis of the most effective types of biopesticides for a variety of pests, and recommending effective application methods. Our goal is to address significant issues and offer fresh perspectives in order to offer practical guidance to aquaponic practitioners. Eventually, this encourages the development of strong and environmentally conscious aquaponic systems, ensuring comprehensive and efficient pest control while maintaining ecological equilibrium.

The olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi), is a key pest of the olive tree worldwide. This study explores whether the endophytes Alcaligenes faecalis , Aureobasidium pullulans , Bacillus amyloliquefaciens , and Penicillium commune can trigger the emission of repellent volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in olive trees, targeting B. oleae . Accordingly, olive trees were inoculated with each endophyte or with buffer (control), and after 3 months, both fruits and leaves were collected to perform olfactometer assays and to evaluate VOCs by HS-SPME and GC–MS. Alcaligenes faecalis , A. pullulans , and B. amyloliquefaciens were found to significantly repel B. oleae females, with each treatment inducing a distinct VOC profile. Alcaligenes faecalis and B. amyloliquefaciens were characterized by higher levels of alkenes, including o-cymene and d-limonene, while P. commune and A. pullulans induced the emission of alkanes. Six VOCs were found to be negatively correlated with fly entries in the olfactometer assays, with beta-myrcene being the most prominent, followed by d-limonene, o-cymene, and 5-octadecene (E). These repellent VOCs were positively correlated with each other, indicating that their combined emission may produce synergistic effects, potentially enhancing their repellency. In contrast, 1, 4-hexadiene, 5-methyl-3-(1-methyl ethylidene) was identified as an attractant, showing a strong positive correlation with fly entries, and appeared to be produced through different biosynthetic pathways than the repellent VOCs. Overall, this work identifies three endophytes and a combination of repellent VOCs as promising new strategies for sustainable management of the olive fruit fly.

Psyllids are small (2.5–4 mm), phytophagous, plant sap-feeding insects. Several species, in the genus Cacopsylla , are known as pests of fruit trees in Europe and adjacent countries. Interestingly, some species are multivoltine, such as the pear psyllids Cacopsylla pyri and C. pyricola , while closely related psyllid species of pear, plum, and apple ( C. pyrisuga , C. pruni , and C. picta, resp.) are univoltine and migrate between Rosaceae fruit tree species and evergreen conifers in higher regions. Therefore, the latter species have to cover great distances between their two diverging habitats. To uncover adaptations of the flight behavior and ability to the different life-history strategies, the flight of migrating ( C. pruni ) and non-migrating ( C. pyri and C. pyricola ) psyllids is investigated with a flight mill, showing that the seasonal migration of C. pruni correlates with the motivation to initiate long straight distance flights, indeed. Interestingly, C. pyri and C. pyricola showed great differences in their flight motivation and performance, indicating a greater dispersal propensity of C. pyri than C. pyricola . In addition, the determination of the protein, soluble carbohydrate, and glycogen content of pear psyllids revealed the consumption of carbohydrates during the psyllids’ flight. The content of the energetic resources is discussed in relation to their flight propensity.
木虱体型小（2.5-4毫米），以植物为食，以植物汁液为食。在欧洲和邻近国家，Cacopsylla属的几个物种被认为是果树的害虫。有趣的是，一些物种是多voltine的，如梨木虱Cacopsylla pyri和C. pyricola，而梨、李和苹果的近缘种（C. pyrisuga， C. pruni和C. picta, resp.）是单voltine的，在蔷薇科果树和高海拔地区的常绿针叶树之间迁移。因此，后一种物种必须在两个不同的栖息地之间跨越很远的距离。为了揭示迁徙木虱的飞行行为和能力对不同生活史策略的适应性，用飞行磨对迁徙木虱和非迁徙木虱的飞行进行了研究，结果表明，迁徙木虱的季节性迁徙确实与开始长距离直线飞行的动机有关。有趣的是，pyri和pyricola在飞行动机和表现上表现出很大的差异，表明pyri比pyricola更倾向于扩散。此外，测定了梨木虱的蛋白质、可溶性碳水化合物和糖原含量，揭示了木虱在飞行过程中对碳水化合物的消耗。讨论了能量资源的含量与其飞行倾向的关系。
