In vitro effectiveness ethanol extract of Cymbopogon citratus (D.L.) stapf and hexythiazox on Raoiella indica Hirst

Abstract:

Raoiella indica is an economic pest in coconut plantations however; information on strategies for ecologically sustainable control is still lacking in Venezuela. Effect of different doses of Cymbopogon citratus ethanolic extract and hexythiazox on mortality and oviposition of R. indica under laboratory conditions was evaluated. Higher mortality (92.5%) and reduced oviposition (100%) were observed with 7.5% ethanolic extract, while low concentrations of hexythiazox resulted in reduction of mortality > 80%, although showed variable results in relation to oviposition. Results support idea about using biopesticides for R. indica control, however effectiveness under field conditions are required.
