Compatibility of insecticides in IPM of citrus leaf miner, Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae)

Abstract

Citrus leaf miner (CLM), Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae) is a serious pest of citrus trees throughout the citrus-growing areas in Egypt. The objectives of the present study were to assess the efficacy of the insecticides; abamectin, hexythiazox, emamectin benzoate, thiamethoxam, triflumuron, lufenuron+fenoxycarb, and imidacloprid against CLM, as well as to evaluate their selectivity on CLM parasitoids. The results revealed highly significant differences between the tested treatments in mortality rates of CLM, abamectin was the most effective insecticide, however it was IPM-incompatible. Thiametoxam was the most selective for CLM parasitoids with a selectivity index of 1.73, and an IPM compatible product on the control of this pest. These results might help on the
development of integrated pest management plans for citrus orchards in Egypt.

 

Keywords:Citrus leaf miner – IPM-selectivity of parasitoids.

Entomology and Applied Science Letters is an international double-blind peer reviewed publication which publishes scientific research & review articles related to insects that contain information of interest to a wider audience, e.g. papers bearing on the theoretical, genetic, agricultural, medical and biodiversity issues. Emphasis is also placed on the selection of comprehensive, revisionary or integrated systematics studies of broader biological or zoogeographical relevance. In addition to full-length research articles and reviews, the journal publishes interpretive articles in a Forum section, Short Communications, and Letters to the Editor. The journal publishes reports on all phases of medical entomology and medical acarology, including the systematics and biology of insects, acarines, and other arthropods of public health and veterinary significance.
