Notes: In this study, we evaluated the effect of combining the application of the EPF Alternaria murispora (PP264308) and Alternaria destruens (PP264311) (Pleosporales: Pleosporaceae), EP bacteria Streptomyces bellus-E23-2 (OM883988) and Streptomyces galilaeus-E23-9 (OM883992), and the predatory ladybird H. trifurcata, for the control of D. opuntiae on O. ficus-indica under greenhouse conditions. The study focused on evaluating combinations of the predator with either fungi or bacteria to assess their efficacy. However, combinations of fungi and bacteria were not tested together, as their interactions were beyond the scope of this experiment.
