The effect of Metarhizium anisopliae var. acridum, anti-feedant agent (azadirachtin), anti-molting agent (Flufenoxuron), Juvenile hormone analogue compound (pyripoxyfen) and Chloropyrifos (two formulations) was evaluated under field conditions of Shark El-Uwainat area against the nymphal instars 3 rd , 4 th and 5 th of Locusta migratoria migratorioides. The obtained results revealed that the integration between M. anisopliae and 20% of the recommended dose of all the compounds exhibited the highest integral action, recording 100% population reduction after (11-13days) of application. On the other hand, the fungus alone induced moderate percentages of population reduction after 10 days of treatment. Also, on comparing the dose and half the dose of the fungus the full dose gave approximately the same trend of activity. Green muscle (M. anisopliae), antifeedant agent, anti-molting agent and juvenile hormone analogues compound can be useful for proposed different elements of an IPM strategy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
