European Conference on Xylella fastidiosa 2017: finding answers to a global problem Untreated control 27 - and tested, showed the highest efficacy, by completely eliminating the spittles and the insects on the sprayed vegetation; - Applications of buprofenzin, reduced the nymphs-infested weeds, the number of spittles and nymphs, but proved to be less efficient and with inconsistent results; - Among the inert compounds, zeolite decreased the infestations of about 20%; more effective is kaolin as compared to zeolite in decreasing the number of spittles and instars, with an effectiveness values that reach 60 to 70%, respectively; - Extract of citrus oil, reducing the infestation nymphs up to 50%.

- No evident positive effects were observed increasing the number of application from 1 to 2;

European Conference on Xylella fastidiosa 2017: finding answers to a global problem 28 Among the synthesis tested products:

- neonicotinoids (acetamiprid, imidacloprid, thiamethoxam), thiamethoxam in mixture with clorantraniprole, pyretroids (deltametarin and lambda-cyhalothrin) showed a good knockdown effects and high mortality rates against adult of meadow spittlebug; - etofenprox gave similar results even with slower action; - generally the action of dimethoate was poor and slow in the time; - similarly action, as dimethoate, showed the others two phosphoric ester tested; chlorpyrifos- methyl and chlorpyrifos-ethyl; - Buprofenzin, pymetrozine and spirotetramat proved to be not effective;

- Neonicotinoids, pyrethroids and etofenprox showed a persistence ranged to 7-10 days up to 2 weeks;

- Imidacloprid applied in endotherapy do not increasing the efficacy, but showed similarly results as imidacloprid in spray, while dimehoathe in endotherapy has more efficacy and persistent as dimethoate in spray;

European Conference on Xylella fastidiosa 2017: finding answers to a global problem 29 Among the organic compounds tested:

- Spinosad give the best results with high prompt effects and a persistence up to 1 week;

- Sweet Citrus Oil showed a good knockdown effect when applied at highest volume to wetting completely the canopy;

- Very low was the efficacy obtained with the formulation based on natural pyrethrins;

- No persistence was recorded for sweet citrus oil and natural pyrethrins;

- Kaolin tested in open field reduced the percentage of infected plants as control, after 2 years of the exposure of healing plants to the natural infection of P. spumarius;

European Conference on Xylella fastidiosa 2017: finding answers to a global problem 30 These results provide preliminary evidence on the efficacy of different formulations for their potential use for the control of P. spuramius and useful for the implementation of the containment strategies against P. spumarius.
