Abstract:Aims: Phenacoccus solenopsis is a pest of many agricultural and horticultural crops, causing considerable losses in Asia and other parts of the world. Managing P. solenopsis is challenging due to a waxy covering body and high reproductive potentiality. This study was aimed to explore the potential use of wax-degrading bacteria isolated from fermented Ficus extract against P. solenopsis. Methodology and results: A total of ten isolates of wax-degrading bacteria were isolated from fermented Ficus extract (Ficus … Show more
