Abstract

Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae) is an important pest of citrus that transmits the bacteria (Candidatus Liberibacter spp.), responsible for the citrus greening disease. Chemical control of this pest is the method most used by citrus growers in México. The objective of this work was to determine the biological effectiveness of imidacloprid in the control of Diaphorina citri in the orange crop (Citrus sinensis L.) in the state of San Luis Potosí, México. A completely randomized block design was used, with 20 experimental units with a total area of 1960 m2, two applications were made at intervals of seven days of the three doses of imidacloprid, 30, 40 and 50 mL / 100 L of water and compared with a commercial control tiametoxam (3 g/tree), plus an unapplied control. The data were analyzed with Tukey's mean comparison test (α = 0.05), using the SAS statistical analysis package. All doses of imidacloprid were effective in the control of nymphs and adults of Diaphorina citri, without statistical differences with the regional control tiametoxam (3 g/tree). Imidacloprid achieved nymph control efficiencies of 93.83% and 88.8% in adults, the best dose was 40 and 50 mL / 100 L of water.
