Acaropathogenic microbes should be compatible with other control methods to be able to effectively utilize them against crop pests. This study aimed to assess whether different pesticides used in the chili ecosystem are compatible with Fusarium semitectum, a potential mycopathogen naturally infective to the active stages of the broad mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus. A selection of pesticides easily...
Aceria guerreronis (Acari: Eriophyoidea) inflicts severe damage on the nuts of commercial coconut palms. Investigations were carried out in India and Sri Lanka to investigate the association of mycopathogens with A. guerreronis. Mite-infested nuts were collected, brought to the laboratory, and examined for the presence of fungi associated with A. guerreronis. Cadavers showing mycelial growth...
Chili crops suffer from damage by the broad mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus, and they also harbour a predatory mite, Amblysius ovalis, as a potential control agent. To understand the change in the population of these mites when applying the acaricide monocrotophos and an acaropathogenic fungus, Fusarium semitectum, experiments were conducted in India during Kharif (Sept-Jan) and summer (March-June)...
Environmental manipulation or conservation is one among several approaches evolved for harnessing the potentiality of entomopathogens in an integrated pest management. Cultural manipulation can permit the pathogen to reproduce more than usual or can preserve or enhance those already present. Among the key pest of chilli thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis Hood (Thripidae: Thysanoptera) and broad mite, Polyphagotarsonemus latus...
