Pan, W.Y., Chen, S.L., Lian, J.H., Qiu, H.Z., & Lan, G. 1989 [A preliminary report on control of Hemiberlesia pitysophila using Cladosporium cladosporioides.]. Forest Pest and Disease No. 3: 22-23.

Notes: C. cladosporioides, isolated from a species of Kermes, was used to control Hemiberlesia pitysophila. The results showed that the mortality rate of the insects induced by the fungus was up to 38.9% on an average in laboratory tests, and 20-57% in field tests. Its potential use for control of the pest is discussed.
