“…For example Nozad-Bonab et al [ 50 ] working on the same host used in this study, found that infecting Trichogramma brassicae Bezdenko (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) with M. anisopliae , reduced the longevity of the parasitoid. Similarly, in a study by Presa-Parra et al [ 51 ] the longevity of M. anisopliae infected Diachasmimorpha longicaudata Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) was much shorter compared to their untreated counterparts. Dolichogenidea gelechiidivoris lays the highest number of eggs at one to three days after female emergence [ 20 ], when the parasitoid was infected with M. anisopliae ICIPE 20 due to the attraction to T. absoluta pheromone traps as found by Ayelo et al [ 52 ].…”

“…Similarly Nozad-Bonab et al [ 50 ] reported 94–95% mortality of T. absoluta when T. brassicae was used in combination with M. anisopliae . In contrast, Presa-Parra et al [ 51 ] using the same fungus found that there was no difference in mortality of parasitised and non-parasitised Anastrepha ludens Loew (Diptera: Tephritidae) larvae sprayed with M. anisopliae .…”

The Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach have been widely promoted and used for the management of native and invasive pests, while the use of various components of the IPM can have a synergetic, additive, or antagonistic effect on each other; this study evaluated the susceptibility of Dolichogenidea gelechiidivoris (Marsh) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), to the Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) ICIPE 20 through direct and indirect infection approaches. The effect of fungus on parasitoid longevity, survival of parasitized-larvae, preference of the parasitoid to fungal treated and untreated larvae, and percent parasitism of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) under different infection scenarios were assessed. The direct application of dry conidia to the parasitoid prior to exposure to the host, reduced D. gelechiidivoris longevity, though the infected female wasps still yielded high parasitism (over 70%). Infecting the parasitized larvae at different ages led to a respective reduction of parasitoid emergence by 35% and 23% for infection at 1 and 5 days post-parasitisation. Exposure of healthy-D. gelechiidivoris adults to a plant-sprayed with fungus did not affect their longevity, and no discriminatory host selection was observed. The highest mortality (~80%) of T. absoluta was achieved when D. gelechiidivoris and M. anisopliae ICIPE 20 were used in combination, indicating an additive impact on the target pest; however, field validation can shed more light on this outcome.

Entomopathogens and Parasitoids Allied in Biocontrol: A Systematic Review

et al. 2023

Biological pest control is an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic pesticides, using organisms such as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasitoids. However, efficacy is variable and combining different biocontrol agents could improve success rates. We conducted a systematic review of studies combining a parasitoid with an entomopathogenic microorganism, the first of its kind. We searched in Web of Science and extracted data from 49 publications matching the pre-defined inclusion criteria. Combinations of 36 hymenopteran parasitoids with 17 entomopathogenic microorganisms used to control 31 target pests were found. Trichogramma pretiosum and Encarsia formosa were the most frequently studied parasitoids, while Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae, Lecanicillium muscarium, Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki, the Spodoptera exigua multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus, and the Spodoptera frugiperda multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus were the main microbial agents assessed. Out of 49 parasitoid–microorganism combinations assessed in the laboratory experiments, thirty-eight were reported as compatible and six as incompatible. Timing and dosage of biopesticides played a crucial role, with later application and appropriate dosage minimizing adverse effects on parasitoid development. More research is needed to assess compatibility and efficacy under real-world conditions. Our review provides valuable insights for researchers and practitioners to optimize the combined use of micro- and macroorganisms for effective pest control.
