Notes: In this study, we assessed the impact of integrating the use of the entomopathogenic fungus Alternaria murispora (Ascomycota: Pleosporaceae) with the predatory ladybirds C. bipustulatus and E. nigripennis for managing D. echinocacti on Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill within screenhouse environments.
