Verticillium lecanii is considered to control whitefly and several aphid species.
Verticillium lecanii is a white-halo fungus because of the white mycelial growth on the edge of the infected insects. It effectively controls the sucking pests in all types of crops such as Aphid, Jassid, Thrips, White Fly, Maho, Mealbug, Brown Maho, Leaf Miner, etc.
Trichoderma has been widely used for the biological control of cotton verticillium wilt, crop gray mold, tomato gray mold, melon wilt, potato dry rot, tobacco root rot, and other plant diseases (Rashmi et al., 2016; Andrade-Hoyos et al., 2020; Alfiky and Weisskopf, 2021; Lazazzara et al., 2021; Leal et al., 2021; ...
pretiosum are naturally occurring important species that can also be purchased for mass release. Trichogramma parasitize eggs of hundreds of different species of insects, especially eggs of butterflies and moths, but also those of beetles, flies, true bugs, sawflies, and certain other insects.
The primary target pest for flonicamid sprays in lettuce and other winter vegetables is aphid. Beleaf is one of several foliar products recommended for use when aphids move onto head lettuce late in the crop season and begin to colonize (Palumbo 2017).
Target pest or “Target Species” means the organism toward which control measures are being directed.
It is a non-systemic insecticide which is widely used for the control Chewing Insects like Bollworm, Pink Bollworms, Spotted Bollworms, Cutworms, Including Heliothis, Lacanobia, Fruitworm, White Apple Leafhopper, Codling Moth, Pandemis Leafroller etc in Red gram, black gram, green gram, tomato, chilli, Okra Soybean , ...
Trichogramma species parasitize eggs of over 200 species of moth and caterpillars. Among these are; the rice and corn stem borer, cabbageworm, tomato hornworm, Heliotis and Helicoverpa species, codling moth, cutworm, armyworm, webworm, cabbage looper, fruit worms, and sugarcane borer.
Acetamiprid 20% SP is commonly used in agriculture and horticulture to control a variety of insect pests, including aphids, thrips, whiteflies, leafhoppers, and some beetles.
Pest stages attacked by Beauveria bassiana:
larvae—beetles, caterpillars. adults—aphids, thrips, whiteflies, chinch bugs, plant bugs, stink bugs, beetles.
It is a neurotoxin that targets the nervous system of insects, disrupting the normal functioning of their nerve cells. Thiamethoxam 30% FS is commonly used in agriculture to control a wide range of insects, including aphids, whiteflies, thrips, and leafhoppers.
An insecticide/miticide, profenofos is a restricted use pesticide used solely on cotton, to control the tobacco budworm, cotton bollworm, armyworm, cotton aphid, whiteflies, spider mites, plant bugs, and fleahoppers.
Lecanicillium lecanii is now an approved name of an entomopathogenic fungus species, that was previously widely known as Verticillium lecanii (Zimmerman) Viegas), but is now understood to be an anamorphic form in the Cordyceps group of genera in the Clavicipitaceae.
DISEASE MANAGEMENT
Verticillium wilt disease cannot be cured, but the life of trees showing mild symptoms can possibly be prolonged with proper tree care: Prune and destroy symptomatic twigs and branches. Sanitize pruners between cuts with a commercial sanitizer, 10% Lysol disinfectant, 10% bleach, or rubbing alcohol.
The fungus is multiplied on cheap media for large scale production. Sorghum grains devoid of pesticide residues (40 g) is washed in potable water and transferred to conical flask (250 ml) and 15 ml of distilled water is added. The conical flasks are plugged with cotton and autoclaved for 20 min at 15 psi.
As adults, Trichogramma feed on insect eggs, nectar, pollen and honeydew. Trichogramma live several times longer and destroy more pests when supplied with nectar plants (e.g. between rows, borders).
Trichogramma dendrolimi Matsumura (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) is one of the most important parasitic natural enemies of Grapholita molesta (Busck) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in peach and pear orchards. The artificial rearing T. dendrolimi have been widely used in biological control programs in recent years.
mint family plants: sage, peppermint, catnip Plant these among your crops to attract Trichogramma wasps. Parasitoids are beneficial insects that prey on vegetable pests.
As clear in Table 2 the first concentration (recommended field rate) for imidacloprid is more effective than indoxacarb (the percent of larvae mortalities are 91.7 and 76.7%, respectively. With the second and the third concentration imidacloprid also is more effective than indoxacarb.
Pyriproxyfen affects many types of insects, including fleas, cockroaches, ticks, ants, carpet beetles, and mosquitoes. It has been registered for use in pesticides by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) since 1995.
