Abstract:
The efficacy to test of four bio-pesticides I. fumosorosea NBAIR pfu-5, L. lecanii, B. bassiana, M. anisopliae were evaluated against nymphs and adults of Rugose spiraling whitefly, A. rugioperculatus (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) on coconut palms at HRS, Ambajipeta. Results showed that I. fumosorosea NBAIR pfu-5was found to be superior in reducing the population of nymphs and adults of RSW among the tested biopesticides. M. anisopliae was found to be least effective on reducing the population of both adults and nymphs of RSW.
