“…13) Camata et al evaluated the effect of potassium silicate on pest resistance and postharvest longevity of the chrysanthemum. 14) This work demonstrated that leaf application of potassium silicate reduced the incidence of cercosporiosis and thrips in chrysanthemum leaves. Generally, despite the extensive research on various compounds, including synthetic insecticides, plant essential oils, and inorganic compounds already introduced in the agricultural industry, none of the common compounds has been able to satisfactorily control the common pistachio psyllid.…”

The common pistachio psylla, Agonoscena pistaciae, is a serious global pest menacing pistachio orchards. Considering the dangers of using excessive chemical pesticides, it seems that using natural insecticides such as diatomaceous earth is a suitable way to lower the residual amount of highly hazardous pesticides. In this study, the effects of diatomaceous earth with different additives, including dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, polyurethane glue as a wood adhesive, and potassium silicate, were investigated in several concentrations over two years in orchard conditions. Although all treatments showed significant effects, the most effective treatments were (diatomaceous earth+dipotassium hydrogen phosphate) and (diatomaceous earth+polyurethane glue). Therefore, the use of diatomaceous earth combined with the additive materials mentioned can potentially be a safe method for the integrated management of the common pistachio psylla.
