La eficia de control de ninfas del tercer al quinto estadio de Diaphorina citri Kuwayama se evaluó con cepas de Metarhizium anisopliae (63%), Beauveria bassiana (63%), e Isaria javanica (94%) bajo condiciones de laboratorio. En huertas comerciales de naranja se obtuvo eficacia de control de 82% con B. bassiana y 83% con I. javanica, lo que las constituye en cepas candidatas para el control biológico de D. citri en huertas con manejo convencional, orgánico y áreas urbanas de Argentina.

Control of third- to fifth-instar nymphs of Diaphorina citri Kuwayama was evaluated with strains of Metarhizium anisopliae (63%), Beauveria bassiana (63%), and Isaria javanica (94%) under laboratory conditions. In commercial orange orchards, 82% control was obtained with B. bassiana and 83% with I. javanica, which makes them candidate strains for biological control of D. citri in orchards with conventional and organic management and in urban areas in Argentina.
