Aphid-parasitoid interactions and their contribution to biological control in medicinal Cannabis sativa L. crops.
Article in Pest management science, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe rapid expansion of medicinal Cannabis sativa L. cultivation contrasts with limited knowledge of its aphid pests and the contribution of parasitoids to their biological control. Quantitative studies evaluating aphid-parasitoid networks in Cannabis under cultivation conditions are scarce. This study characterized aphid-parasitoid interactions in Cannabis grown in households in Argentina over two consecutive cropping seasons.
resultsWeekly sampling of 101 chemotype III Cannabidiol (CBD-dominant) plants across 20 households (2020-2021 and 2021-2022) recorded five aphid and five parasitoid species. A total of nine and twelve aphid-parasitoid interactions were recorded in the first and second seasons, respectively, and 90.5% of collected mummies yielded primary parasitoids. In the second season, the network exhibited higher connectedness (0.65) and modularity (0.104), and lower nestedness (4.45), indicating increased compartmentalization. Interactions involving Aphis fabae and Aphis gossypii with Lysiphlebus testaceipes, Aphidius matricaria, and Aphidius avenae showed high temporal constancy (≥77%) and spatial ubiquity (≥90%). Parasitism varied significantly between phenophases (χ
conclusionAphid-parasitoid networks in medicinal Cannabis were functionally structured and temporally consistent across seasons. L. testaceipes emerged as the dominant and most stable parasitoid, supporting its key role in natural aphid regulation. These findings provide a basis for conservation biological control strategies in emerging Cannabis production systems. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
