The recent spread of the African citrus psyllid, Trioza erytreae, one vectors devastating disease, Huanglongbing (HLB), to parts mainland Europe has created considerable concern. In this study, we show efficacy several insecticides with varying modes action on different developmental stages T. erytreae. laboratory trials, spinetoram caused highest mortality in erytreae eggs (between 80 and 90%)...

The use of nanoparticles (NPs) has generated an alternative pest control. objective was to evaluate the insecticidal effect zinc oxide (ZnO NPs), titanium dioxide (TiO2 and their combination on Bactericera cockerelli (Hemiptera: Triozidae) second-stage nymphs under laboratory greenhouse conditions in tomato. research carried out with leaf immersion bioassay method a complete randomized design, ...

The potato psyllid, Bactericera cockerelli (Sulc) (Hemiptera: Triozidae), is a major pest of potatoes that can cause yield loss by direct feeding on crop plants and by transmitting a bacterial pathogen, Candidatus Liberibacter psyllaurous (a.k.a. Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum) associated with zebra chip disease of the crop. In recent years, there have been no studies regarding resistance...

Abstract The effectiveness of augmentative biological control using parasitoids often depends on their physiological state and the pest population density at time release. Tamarixia triozae (Burks) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is a primary host-feeding parasitoid serious invasive Bactericera cockerelli (Šulc) (Hemiptera: Triozidae). Here we investigated effects adult diets (honey, water, yeast, ho...
