“…Efficacy of B. bassiana was similar to spinetoram and NNI-1171 among the remaining treatments. Significant reduction in the numbers of F. occidentalis larvae, adult or soil-dwelling stages was seen in different laboratory or greenhouse studies using commercial or local isolates of B. bassiana [13,19,10,20,21]. However, data on the field efficacy of B. bassiana in lettuce, especially in California is lacking and the current studies provide useful insights into the understanding of field efficacy of a commonly available entomopathogenic fungus.…”

Aims:Lettuce and broccoli are high value vegetable crops in California. The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis on lettuce, and the cabbage aphid, Brevicoryne brassicae and the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae on broccoli are important insect pests that are frequently managed with chemical insecticides. Observation:Efficacy of various chemical insecticides and the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana was evaluated against these pests in field studies in the Santa Maria area of California. Some insecticides varied in their efficacy against F. occidentalis from year to year and against different aphid species. Conclusion:A new insecticide sulfoxaflor provided good control of aphids on broccoli. Beauveria bassiana demonstrated a potential for broccoli and lettuce integrated pest management.

“…Other researchers have found B. bassiana to be eVective against several insect pests including Lygus spp. (Bidochka et al, 1993;Liu et al, 2002;Noma and Strickler, 1999;Steinkraus and Tugwell, 1997) and WFT (Gindin et al, 1996;Jacobson et al, 2001;Shipp et al, 2003). By using bumble bees as a means of delivering B. bassiana, one not only reduces pest populations at a single point in time, but also has a continuous impact on the pest populations over time because bees are disseminating the control agent on a daily basis.…”

“…All tested isolates caused mortalities between 58.2 and 89.5% for the WFT and 96.0 and 100% for the onion thrips (Gindin et al, 1996). Jacobson et al (2001) tested two commercial formulations of B. bassiana Naturalis-L (Troy BioSciences Inc., USA) and BotaniGard WP (Mycotech, Butte, MT, USA), against WFT and the non-target biological control agent Neoseiulus (Amblyseius) cucumeris Oudemans (Acari: Phytoseiidae) on greenhouse cucumbers. Both products reduced populations of immature WFT by 87 and 75%, respectively, compared to untreated control but showed no adverse eVect on N. cucumeris (Jacobson et al, 2001).…”

The ability of bumble bees to disseminate conidia of Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin from hive-mounted dispensers to greenhouse sweet peppers for the control of tarnished plant bug (TPB) and western Xower thrips (WFT) was investigated in greenhouse trials using large screened enclosures. Samples collected from the enclosures (four treatments) on two sampling dates showed that 97, 90, 91, and 42% of the collected bees, Xowers, leaves, and TPB, respectively, showed detectable densities of B. bassiana on the Wrst sampling date. On the second sampling date, 99, 96, 87, and 30% of collected bees, Xowers, leaves, and TPB, respectively, showed detectable densities of the fungus. Mean mortalities of TPB collected from cages treated with B. bassiana were 34 and 45% compared to 9 and 15% in the controls on the Wrst and second sampling dates, respectively. Mean infection rates of WFT were 40 and 34% compared to 3% in the controls on the Wrst and second sampling dates, respectively. These results indicate that bumble bees are an eVective means of vectoring the fungal conidia to the crop. The pollinator vector technology is a novel example of integrating agro-ecosystem processes of pollination and pest management, that reduces the reliance on insecticides and increases crop yields and quality.

“…Nematodes are generally applied to the substrate as a drench where they are most likely to contact pupae of western flower thrips. Nematodes offer good control of WFT and have been shown to be compatible with other BCAs (Ebssa et al, 2006;Jacobson et al, 2001). …”

Seasonal climatic variations influence the efficacy of predatory mites used for control of western flower thrips in greenhouse ornamental crops

This research investigated seasonal climate changes within greenhouses and the impacts they have on efficacy of the predatory mites Amblyseius swirskii and Neoseiulus cucumeris. Controlled environment chamber, greenhouse small-cage, and commercial greenhouse trials were conducted to determine which biological control agent is more efficacious for control of the pest western flower thrips (WFT), (Frankliniella occidentalis) on ornamental crops.When observed under laboratory conditions, predation and oviposition were increased at higher temperatures. Photoperiod and light intensity also have an impact on predatory mites. Predation rates for both mite species were greater when subjected to short day light conditions (8 h light, 11 W/m 2 ). Climates typical of summer (higher temperature and light intensity, long day length) were most favourable in terms of predation and oviposition for A. swirskii. Neoseiulus cucumeris laid more eggs under short day as opposed to long day settings.In summer and winter greenhouse small cage trials, the performance of N.cucumeris and A. swirskii significantly reduced WFT numbers on potted chrysanthemum plants. However, in summer, A. swirskii provided significantly better thrips control than N. cucumeris. The number of adult mites recovered from plants was similar for both mite treatments in winter, while A. swirskii were present in higher numbers throughout the summer trials. Results from leaf damage assessments indicate that A. swirskii is more effective for control of heavy WFT feeding damage in both summer and winter. Results from commercial greenhouse trials yielded similar trends as those found in the summer and winter small cage trials.iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
