Experiments were performed under controlled conditions on the development of four cucumber pests ( Trialeurodes uaporariorum, Tetranychus urticae, Aphis gossypii and Thrips tabaci ). The main variables were temperature, photoperiod and light intensity. The effect of these factors on the natural enemies Encarsia formosa and Amblyseius mckenziei was also assessed. Comparison of the results allows recommendations on manipulation of the glasshouse environment to favour biological control.
