Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect T. atrobrunneum strain gave superior mortality of T. urticae adult females (45–82.5%) compared with M. brunneum
- Intervention effect T. atrobrunneum strain gave superior mortality of A. craccivora adult females (26.67–73.33%) compared with M. brunneum
- Intervention effect M. brunneum strain gave 32.5-77.5% mortality of T. urticae adult females
- Intervention effect M. brunneum strain gave 23.33-70.00% mortality of A. craccivora adult females
- Intervention effect T. atrobrunneum at 1×109 spores/mL gave 36.67% mortality of Euseius scutalis
- Observation For M. brunneum, Euseius scutalis mortality rates across the concentration series included 30.00%
- Observation Spider mite populations were significantly reduced on plants under semi-field conditions three days after treatment
- Observation Cowpea aphid populations were significantly reduced on plants under semi-field conditions three days after treatment
- Association T. atrobrunneum showed a higher infection rate than M. brunneum
- Observation The efficacy of both isolates increased over time and peaked at seven days after application
- Recommendation The authors suggest that M. brunneum and T. atrobrunneum, with release of E. scutalis, can serve as effective pest suppression strategies
