Although many studies have been conducted on the development and reproductive potential of Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, 1908 (Hemiptera: Liviidae) in different host species, few evaluated these parameters varieties same species. This study influence five commercial citrus (Citrus spp. L.)--Hamlin, Natal, Pêra, Ponkan, Valencia-and orange jasmine [Murraya exotica (L.) Jack] D. citri. Survival rates for egg stage were highest (85.7%) Valencia (83.3%). The lowest viability nymphal was also...
Huanglongbing (HLB) is a disease associated with the bacteria “Candidatus Liberibacter spp.” and has been devastating citrus orchards around world. Its management involves control of insect vector, Asian psyllid Diaphorina citri Kuwayama. However, indiscriminate use chemicals caused pest outbreaks eliminated natural enemies such as parasitoid Tamarixia radiata (Waterston), main agent for biological D. citri. This study assessed lethal sublethal effects insecticides recommended integrated...
Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most serious disease affecting citriculture worldwide. Its vector in main producing regions Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, 1908 (Hemiptera: Liviidae). Brazil has largest orange-growing area and also exporter of processed juice world. Since first detection this country, >38 million plants have been destroyed pesticide consumption increased considerably. During early research on control methods, parasitoid Tamarixia radiata (Waterston, 1922)...
The Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) Diaphorina citri, vector of 'Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus' (CLas), the putative causal agent Huanglongbing (HLB), is controlled by application insecticides, which, although effective, has resulted in serious biological imbalances. New management tools are needed, and technique known as "trap crop" been attracting attention. A potential plant for use a trap crop ACP Murraya koenigii (curry leaf). However, this to be used field, it needs attractive must not...
The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae), is considered the main vector of bacteria associated with huanglongbing, a very serious disease that has threatened world industry. absence efficient control management protocols, including lack resistant cultivars, led to development different approaches study this pathosystem. production genotypes relies on D. gene expression analyses by RT-qPCR assess population. High-quality, reliable depend upon proper reference...
This study evaluated the survival and fertility of huanglongbing vector Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae) on 2 species family Rutaceae, Murraya exotica L. (Sapindales: Rutaceae) Helietta apiculata Bentham Rutaceae). Females D. oviposited both hosts. The was similar hosts until day 7 confinement plants. can support in regions where vector's main host (M. exotica) or citrus groves are absent, a potential factor dispersal epidemiology huanglongbing.
Several studies have shown that the host plant influences bioecological parameters of both pest insects and their natural enemies; however, few evaluated effect varieties same species. This study host-choice behavior (by a free-choice test) Tamarixia radiata (Waterston) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) on nymphs Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Liviidae) reared 4 sweet orange (Sapindales: Rutaceae) (Hamlin, Pêra, Natal, Valencia), its development (biology) in these varieties, mandarin (cv....
