augmentative biocontrol
The survey includes records for grapevine, grape and vineyard.
Results
Very few papers (62) on augmentative biocontrol in grapevine have been published during the period 1998-2008, with
an average of 5.6 publications per year. Most references (93.5%) showed data on biological control of insects and only
4 papers on the biological control of mites were published (Figure 3).

biocontrol of insect pests
biocontrol of mite pests
The data extracted from the abstracts of the selected references were collected analytically in
separate tables for each group of biocontrol agents (Appendix 8) and references were sorted
chronologically (starting from the eldest). For each species of biocontrol agent, target species of
pest, Country, type of augmentation (inundative, inoculative), type of test (laboratory, field),
efficacy of biocontrol, additional information and results were reported.
