Abstract
A number of microbial and botanical pesticides (i.e. Bacillus thuringiensis, azadirachtin, Beauveria bassiana, pyrethrins and spinosad) were selected to test their effectiveness against berry moths, in particular Lobesia botrana in Veneto and Tuscany. Their side-effects on other pests and beneficials were also evaluated. Regarding the efficacy of microbial and botanical pesticides on L. botrana, trials showed high performance of spinosad. B. thuringiensis results satisfactory in L. botrana control in Veneto but not in Tuscany. The remaining compounds were less effective. Implications for IPM in viticulture are discussed.File in questo prodotto:
