El Aalaoui, M., Rammali, S., Yasri, A., & Sbaghi, M. 2025 Optimizing Opuntia spp. protection: Parasitoids and microorganisms agents for Diaspis echinocacti management. Neotropical Entomology 54: 89

Keywords:

  • biological control
  • entomopathogenic fungi
  • natural enemies
  • symbionts
  • Notes: This study explored an integrated pest management approach to control D. echinocacti, using a a combination of parasitoid species, entomopathogenic microorganisms, and three different Streptomyces species. The aim was to determine whether these combinations lead to greater mortality rates compared to individual treatments or a non-treated control, providing insights into optimizing biological control strategies for managing this pest. https://doi.org/10.1007/s13744-025-01301-6
