Abstract
The project evaluates the nutritional value of Artemia products for the mass production of Orius laevigatus, Podisus maculiventris and Harmonia axyridis, all economically important predators used in the biological control of agricultural pests. Based on biochemical analyses of the natural foor of these predatory insects, selected Artemia products will be enriched with specific nutritional components.
