“…Current research is focusing on the development of biorational methods for D. citri control involving natural enemies, such as entomopathogens (Conceschi et al 2016;Dorta et al 2020), parasitoids, and predators (Parra et al 2016). Some of these natural enemies, e.g., the parasitic wasp Tamarixia radiata (Waterston) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) (Chien et al 1991;Qureshi et al 2009;Hoddle 2012;Parra et al 2016), predatory mites (Fang et al 2013), and the entomopathogenic fungus Isaria fumosorosea, have proved to be efficient against D. citri under field conditions (Stauderman et al 2012;Lezama-Gutiérrez et al 2012;Ullah et al 2018). Use of these enemies opens new possibilities for reestablishing integrated pest management in citrus orchards, with low environmental risk, which is particularly important in non-commercial orchards and backyards.…”

Citrus huanglongbing (HLB) represents a major threat to citriculture due to its rapid spread, difficulty of control, severe yield losses, and substantial increases in production costs in HLB-affected orchards. Successful management depends on detailed knowledge of the epidemiology of this disease, which is associated with phloem-limited bacteria of the genus Candidatus Liberibacter that are transmitted by phloem sap-feeding insects known as psyllids (Hemiptera: Psylloidea). Candidatus L. asiaticus (CLas) and the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri Kuwayama are the major etiological agent and vector, respectively, in the Americas and Asia. This review provides up-to-date information on the relationships of psyllid vectors with Ca. Liberibacter spp. associated with HLB, with emphasis on D. citri and CLas. Knowledge of the transmission mechanisms of these bacteria, as well as aspects of the biology, ecology, and behavior of the vector in relation to the environment, is essential to gain understanding of the HLB epidemics. Such knowledge provides a basis for developing innovative control methods and establishing sustainable management strategies for HLB.

“…Therefore, in recent years, the focus has been shifted towards biological control. Earlier researches suggested the possibility of the successful use of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) such as Beauveria bassiana (Sivasundaram et al 2007 andUllah et al 2018). EPF such as Metarhizium anisopliae and B. bassiana have been effectively used for biological control of aphids, lepidopteran caterpillars, and other pests.…”

The rice leaf roller or leaf folder, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Guenee) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), is a serious pest of rice crop in Pakistan. The present study was carried out to evaluate the virulence of the entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) Beauveria bassiana, Verticillium lecanii, and Metarhizium anisopliae against the third instar of C. medinalis larvae. Larvae were exposed to fungi under controlled conditions at the available commercial concentration (1 × 10 8 conidia ml −1 ). The results showed 73.33, 57.78, and 74.44% mortality rates in the in vitro assay and 56.67, 41.11 and 52.78% in the greenhouse assay of B. bassiana, V. lecanii, and M. anisopliae, respectively. The maximum mycosis from cadavers of C. medinalis was observed at B. bassiana treatment in the in vitro assay (70%) and in the greenhouse assay (53.78%). The maximum sporulation from C. medinalis cadavers was observed at B. bassiana treatment in the in vitro assay (144.67 conidia ml −1 ) and in greenhouse assay (96.67 conidia ml −1 ). These results favor the alternative use of EPF in organic rice production for management of C. medinalis.

“…There have been several different methods employed for the use of Cordyceps spp. against AsCP in field conditions, and these include: (1) spraying the target pest on the foliage [ 46 , 47 , 48 , 49 , 50 ]; (2) releasing entomopathogenic fungi using autodisseminators [ 51 , 52 ]; and (3) a combination of these methods [ 37 ]. Each method employed above using fungal formulations containing Cordyceps spp.…”

Citrus greening disease is devastating the citrus industry in Florida, and the conventional synthetic pesticide applications used to control the vector of the Asian citrus psyllid (AsCP), Diaphorina citri, are rapidly becoming unsustainable. Various laboratory experiments indicate that the entomopathogenic fungus Cordyceps javanica, alone and in combination with horticultural oils, may offer a more sustainable strategy for the management of AsCP. Field studies conducted in 2018 and 2019 in mature citrus indicated that C. javanica alone, C. javanica mixed with white oil, and the chemical standard spinetoram mixed with white oil significantly suppressed AsCP adult populations by 61–83% up to 14 days after treatment in 2018, although colony-forming units of C. javanica were still present on the leaves 21 days after treatment (DAT). Only spinetoram + oil significantly suppressed AsCP, by 100%, up to 7 DAT in 2019. Natural enemies of AsCP, including lady beetles, lacewing larvae and the parasitoid Tamarixia radiata, were observed in the fungal treatments and the untreated control. The AsCP suppression by C. javanica and its compatibility with beneficial organisms suggest the potential use of this entomopathogenic fungus in citrus-integrated pest management.
