- Description
- Control measures against the false codling moth (FCM), Thaumatotibia leucotreta, have traditionally ignored the soil-borne pupal stage. Recent trials with entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) and entomopathogenic fungi (EPFs) have targeted this life-stage. Application of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora to a citrus orchard floor, reduced T. leucotreta infestation of fruit by up to 81%. Conservation of H. zealandica through non-usage of a nematicide also resulted in dramatically lower fruit infestation. Dose-response and exposure time-response bioassays identified the three most promising fungal isolates against pupating T. leucotreta. Orchard trials showed persistence of these fungi in orchard soil for at least six months.
