Effect of Isaria fumosorosea (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae) and Lysiphlebus testaceipes, (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) on the Brown Citrus aphid: Preliminary assessment of a compatibility study

Abstract

Treatments with Ifr alone were not effective for managing BCA populations in these cage trials. However, Ifr did not inhibit parasitism or emergence, and L. testaceipes was highly effective at parasitizing the aphids even in the presence of Ifr. The compatibility of Ifr with L. testaceipes demonstrated potential for managing brown citrus aphid pests in citrus.
