Efficacy of Fungal Suspensions and Botanical Extracts Applied to Host Plants for the Control of Bemisia tabaci (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae)
Resistance development in Bemisia tabaci (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) against a score of synthetic chemicals necessitates the exploration of novel eco-friendly integrated pest management approaches to protect field crops. In the current study, the pathogenic potential of two EPFs i.e. Beauveria bassiana and Isaria fumosorosea and two plant extracts viz. Neem leaves extract and Aloe vera leaves extract was assessed against eggs, nymphs, and adults of B. tabaci on cotton plants. Five different concentrations of EPFs (1×104, 1×105, 1×106, 1×107 and 1×108 conidia/mL) and plant extracts (10 %, 20 %, 40 %, 60 %, and 80 %) were assessed against eggs, nymphs and adults of B. tabaci. The results revealed that eggs, nymphs and adults of B. tabaci were significantly affected in terms of mortality by the tested biopesticides. Furthermore, mortality response of immatures and adults of B. tabaci was more pronounced at higher treatment concentrations and post-inoculation time intervals. Among EPFs, B. bassina was more pathogenic towards B. tabaci in comparison to its counterpart, I. fumosorosea. Similarly, Neem extracts exhibited higher mortalities as compared to Aloe vera extract. Taken together, EPFs and botanicals can provide eco-friendly and sustainable solution to manage B. tabaci. However, future studies need to conducted to find their recommended doses in field conditions.
