In Brazil, it was detected in 2001 in the state of Pará and more recently it was detected in São Paulo in 2008. This pest that attacks over 300 species of plants, but its main host are citrus. It is an A2 quarantine pest, because it is not spread throughout the country. The objective of this study was to test doses of 0 (control), 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175 and 200Gy of gamma irradiation for disinfection of eggs of the citrus black fruit fly in leaves of citrus plants.

  • Augmentation of Parasitoids for Biological Control of Citrus Blackfly in Southern Texas
    186 Florida Entomologist 87(2) June 2004 AUGMENTATION OF PARASITOIDS FOR BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF CITRUS BLACKFLY IN SOUTHERN TEXAS R. L. MEAGHER1 AND J. VICTOR FRENCH2 1USDA-ARS CMAVE, 1700 SW 23rd Drive, Gainesville, FL 32608 2Texas A&M University-Kingsville Citrus Center, P.O. Box 1150, Weslaco, TX 78599-1150 ABSTRACT Two parasitoid species, Amitus hesperidum Silvestri and Encarsia opulenta (Silvestri), were released in an augmentative program to control citrus blackfly, Aleurocanthus woglumi Ashby, in the citrus growing areas of southern Texas. Releases were made with laboratory- reared and field insectary parasitoids. Six citrus groves were closely monitored, and evalu- ations made during and after releases suggested that both parasitoid species became rees- tablished and exerted control over pest populations. Dissection of citrus blackfly immatures led us to suggest that E. opulenta increased in larger numbers than A. hesperidum, and that a stable host-natural enemy relationship became established. Key Words: Aleurocanthus woglumi, Amitus hesperidum, Encarsia opulenta, augmentative biological control RESUMEN Dos especies de parasitoides, Amitus hesperidum Silvestri y Encarsia opulenta (Silvestri) fueron liberadas en un programa de aumentó para el control de la mosca prieta de los cítri- cos.

Nagamine, and Kenneth K. Teramoto Hawaii Department of Agriculture, Division of Plant Industry, Plant Pest Control Branch 1428 South King Street, Honolulu, Hawaii 96814, U.S.A. 1Correspondence: T.W. Culliney, USDA, APHIS, PPQ, Center for Plant Health Science and Technology 1017 Main Campus Dr., Ste. 2500, Raleigh, NC 27606, USA Abstract. Introductions and releases of natural enemies for the biological control of agricultural and forest pests in Hawaii are discussed for the period 1997-2001. Sixteen insect and five fungal species were introduced, released, or redistributed by the Ha- waii Department of Agriculture for the control of six weeds (Clidemia hirta, Coccinia grandis, Miconia calvescens, Myrica faya, Senecio madagascariensis, and Ulex europaeus) and four insect pests (Aleurocanthus woglumi, Bemisia argentifolii, Pentalonia nigronervosa, and Sipha flava). Key words: biological control, Hawaii In its role as the state’s lead agency for classical biological control, the Plant Pest Control Branch of the Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA) has maintained a program for the introduction and release of beneficial organisms for the past 100 years. This paper, the latest in a series, provides information on the status of some pests and their introduced natural enemies, and a list of natural enemies released for biological control in Hawaii from 1997 through 2001 (Table 1). All introductions are thoroughly studied and screened under quar- antine following established protocols, and must be approved by the state Board of Agricul- ture and the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service before they can be released in Hawaii.

    EENY242 A Citrus Blackfly Parasitoid, Encarsia perplexa Huang and Polaszek (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Aphelinidae)1 Ru Nguyen and T. R. Fasulo2 Introduction Encarsia perplexa Huang & Polaszek is one of the most effective parasitoids of the citrus blackfly, Aleurocanthus woglumi Ashby (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). It was originally misidentified as Encarsia opulenta (Silvestri), but was later determined to be a new species (Huang and Polaszek 1998). In 1950, E. perplexa from Saharanpur (India) were released for the control of A. woglumi in Mexico (Flanders 1969). The parasite was then introduced to Texas in 1971 (Summy et al. 1983), and Florida in 1976 (Hart et al. 1978) to suppress and maintain under the economic threshold the population of the citrus blackfly in these states. Distribution Encarsia perplexa is reported as native to Asia (Vietnam and India) (Silvestri 1927; Smith et al. 1964), (Huang and Polaszek 1998), and was introduced to Barbados, Cuba, Salvador, Kenya, Jamaica, Oman, Mexico, Venezuela, and Figure 1.

It spread to Cuba in 1916, Mexico in Zetek 1920), it is usually under effective biological control 1935 (Smith et al. 1964), and was detected in Key West, in Florida.

Rediscovered in Ft.

At present, it is widely spread from north-central through south Florida. Description and Life History The life cycle from egg to adult ranges from 45 to 133 days, depending on the temperature (Dietz and Zetek 1920). Six generations per year are produced in south Florida (Nguyen et al. 1983). Egg Figure 1.
