Production of Tamarixia radiata Waterson (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) stimulating sprouting of Murraya paniculata (L.) Jack. Rev. Mex. Cienc. Agríc [online]. 2015, vol.6, n.spe11, pp.2091-2098.

In Mexico, there is a program under development of mass production of the ectoparasitoid Tamarixia radiata Waterson (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) for controlling Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), vector of the citrus Huanglongbing. This wasp is kept on nymphs of the Asian citrus psyllid produced on tender shoots of Murraya paniculata (L.) Jack (Rutaceae) . Six products were evaluated to stimulate sprouting and infesting them with nymphs of D. citri to be parasitized with T. radiata. Compost with a dose of 130 g was applied to the soil plant which produced the largest amount of useful shoots (10.6) (F= 10.85, Pr <0.0001) and as many parasitoids outbreak (22.44) (F= 1.31 Pr> 0.2672).

Keywords : Candidatus Liberibacter spp.; Diaphorina citri; Asian citrus psyllid; biological control; Huaglongbing.
