Abstract

Control of third- to fifth-instar nymphs of Diaphorina citri Kuwayama was evaluated with strains of Metarhizium anisopliae (63%), Beauveria bassiana (63%), and Isaria javanica (94%) under laboratory conditions. In commercial orange orchards, 82% control was obtained with B. bassiana and 83% with I. javanica, which makes them candidate strains for biological control of D. citri in orchards with conventional and organic management and in urban areas in Argentina.
