Fig 1.
Proportion of hatched eggs of Tuta absoluta according to the presence or absence of Nesidiocoris tenuis and/or Macrolophus pygmaeus and the presence or absence of sesame plant.
The ‘+’ indicates the presence and the ‘-’ indicates the absence. Boxplot followed by the same lower case letter did not differ significantly.

Fig 2.
Number of necrotic rings caused by Nesidiocoris tenuis on the tomato plant according to the presence or absence of Macrolophus pygmaeus and the presence or absence of sesame plant.
The ‘+’ indicates the presence and the ‘-’ indicates the absence. Boxplot followed by the same lower case letter did not differ significantly.
Fig 3.
Proportion of predators (Nesidiocoris tenuis or Macrolophus pygmaeus) on tomato vs sesame plants according to the presence or absence of Ephestia kuehniella eggs on the tomato or the sesame plant.
The ‘+’ indicates the presence and the ‘-’ indicates the absence. Boxplot followed by the same lower case letter did not differ significantly.
Fig 4.
A. Number of Nesidiocoris tenuis on the different parts of the tomato or sesame plants depending on the presence or absence of Ephestia kuehniella eggs on the tomato or the sesame plant. The ‘+’ indicates the presence and the ‘-’ indicates the absence. Boxplot followed by the same lower or upper case letter did not differ significantly with respect to plant species (tomato and sesame, respectively). B. Number of predators Macrolophus pygmaeus on the different parts of the tomato or sesame plants depending on the presence or absence of Ephestia kuehniella eggs on the tomato or the sesame plant. The ‘+’ indicates the presence and the ‘-’ indicates the absence. Boxplot followed by the same lower or upper case letter did not differ significantly with respect to plant species (tomato and sesame, respectively).
