Herrick, N.J., & Cloyd, R.A. 2023 Performance of Entomopathogenic Fungal-Based Insecticides against the Citrus Mealybug (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) on Coleus (Lamiales: Lamiaceae) Plants under Greenhouse Conditions1. Journal of Entomological Science 58(2):187-200
Keywords:
Notes: Four experiments were conducted in a research greenhouse at Kansas State University (Manhattan) from 2020 to 2022 to determine the efficacy of three commercially available entomopathogenic fungal-based insecticides on citrus mealybug feeding on coleus. Our study indicates that entomopathogenic fungal-based insecticides are not effective in managing citrus mealybug populations in greenhouses.
