“…Eggs were taken from the isolated adults; females immediately after deposition and placed on potato sprouts and pumpkin to maintain the colony. Every week, newly sprouted potatoes were added to the stock culture of P. citri to maintain the colony [25,26].…”

The present study was carried out to determine the bio-efficacy of Diatomaceous Earth with Boric acid against sucking pest Citrus mealy bug; Planococus citri. Three dose rates of Diatomaceous Earth with Boric acid were evaluated against the Citrus mealy bug (Planococus citri) in comparison to synthetic chemical (Bifenthrin). Diatomaceous Earth with Boric acid show the excellent mortality 81.02% on Citrus mealy bug; 3 rd instar (Planococus citri) at 30+30 gms per liter of water; after the 7 days of application in comparison to standard chemical (Bifenthrin) at 10 ml per liter of water.

“…Aspergillus parasiticus, Penicillium spp., Cordyceps sp., Metarhizium anisopliae (De Barro 1990;Panyasiri et al 2007), Neozygites fumosa (Le Rü 1986;Delalibera et al 1997), Lecanicillium muscarium (Verticillium lecanii), Beauveria bassiana, Aschersonia aleyrodis, and Isaria fumosorosea (Evans and Prior 1990;Evans and Hywel-Jones 1997) were isolated from coccoids. Nomuraea fumosa was considered to be an important biocontrol agent of P. citri on citrus in Florida (Speare 1922).…”

Laboratory evaluation of the effectiveness of the entomopathogen; Isaria farinosa, on citrus mealybug, Planococcus citri

Citrus mealybug Planococcus citri (Risso) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is one of the main pests on citrus trees. Biological control of the pest is based on the release of hymenopterous parasitoids and coccinellid predators at present. The effectiveness of entomopathogen fungus Isaria farinosa (Holmsk.) Fries ([Sordariomycetes: Hypocreales] (Syn: Paecilomyces farinosus), as an alternative biological control agent on citrus mealybug, was investigated using four different inoculum densities and different relative humidities (RH). The entomopathogen caused 89.39% mortality in ovisacs, 84.07% mortality in second larval stage, 84.53% mortality in adult females, and 78.71% mortality in first larval stage at 95% RH and at 1 9 10 8 conidia ml -1 inoculum concentration. Percent mortalities were between 50 and 60 in ovisac, first and second larval stage at 95% RH and at 1 9 10 7 conidia ml -1 . Percent mortality was decreased parallel to the decrease in humidity level and inoculum densities; however, the fungus caused significant infection in 70% and 80% RH. These results demonstrated that the effectiveness of the entomopathogen is promising for biocontrol of citrus mealybug.
