Journal ArticleDOI
Current status and potential of conservation biological control for agriculture in the developing world
Kris A.G. Wyckhuys,Yanhui Lu,Helda Morales,Luis L. Vazquez,Jesusa Crisostomo Legaspi,Panagiotis A. Eliopoulos,Luis M. Hernandez +6 more
TL;DR: There is potential for well-orchestrated regional research projects to pursue higher levels of CBC integration into current pest management schemes, and a first step in drawing a roadmap for developing-world research that provides local farmers with safe, low-cost means to control damaging insect pests, safeguard harvests and secure their livelihoods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Laboratory and Field Evaluation of Exotic Parasitoids of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Biotype ''B'') (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae) in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas
John A. Goolsby,Matthew A. Ciomperlik,B. C. Legaspi,Jesusa Crisostomo Legaspi,Lloyd E. Wendel +4 more
TL;DR: This information will be used to prioritize the parasitoid cultures for mass rearing and release in biocontrol-based IPM programs against B. tabaci and Eretmocerusspecies from Spain and India.
Journal ArticleDOI
Survival and behavior of the insecticide-exposed predators Podisus nigrispinus and Supputius cincticeps (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae)
A.A. de Castro,Alberto S. Corrêa,Alberto S. Corrêa,Jesusa Crisostomo Legaspi,Raul Narciso C. Guedes,José Eduardo Serrão,J. C. Zanuncio +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that substitution of pyrethroid and organophosphate insecticides at their field rates by chlorantraniliprole may be a key factor for the success of IPM programs of A. gemmatalis in soybeans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stalkborer Damage on Yield and Quality of Sugarcane in Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas
Jesusa Crisostomo Legaspi,Benjamin C. Legaspi,J. E. Irvine,J. Johnson,Robert L. Meagher,N. Rozeff +5 more
TL;DR: The ineffectiveness of insecticides and their abandonment by Texas sugarcane growers make it imperative that pest management alternatives, such as resistant varieties and biological control agents, be investigated to alleviate the losses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Serangium parcesetosum (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) as a biological control agent of the silverleaf whitefly (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae)
TL;DR: The coccinellid predator from India, Serangium parcesetosum Sicard, is a promising biological control agent against the silverleaf whitefly because of its voracity in both immature and adult stages, and its apparent preference for whiteflies.
