Abstract: Panonychus citri is the importantpest/mite of citrus in China, which has developed resistance to many acaricides. Herein, joint toxicity of the microbial insecticide Beauveria bassiana ZJU435 and cyetpyrafen was evaluated by indoor and field tests. The indoor toxicity test results showed that 10 billion spores/mL of B. bassiana ZJU435 OD(Oil Dispersion) and 30% of cyetpyrafen SC(suspension concentrate) at a ratio of 10:1(V/V) presented the highest co-toxicity coefficient (CTC) of 249.90 and a remarkable synergistic effect.The results of field trial indicated that application of 10 billion spores/mL of B. bassiana ZJU435 (20 mL) OD and 30% of cyetpyrafen SC (2 mL), which were mixed in 15 L of water, produced a correction control effect of 84.41%, 90.02%, and 92.86% after treatment of 3,7,and 14 d, respectively, and had significantly better quick effect than B. bassiana ZJU435 (40 mL/15 L) application, but no significant difference with cyetpyrafen SC (4 mL/15 L) application. Thus, combined application of B. bassiana ZJU435 and cyetpyrafen at specific ratio produced excellent quick and endurance effects, and has potential use in practical production and treatment.
