This invention belongs to the field of
biopesticide technology, specifically relating to a
biopesticide for controlling citrus thrips. The
biopesticide, used to control citrus thrips, comprises an
active ingredient derived from a compound of *Bretschneidera sinensis*
powder and
methyl salicylate, or a compound of *Bretschneidera sinensis* and ethyl
spinosad; wherein the effective bacterial count of the *Bretschneidera sinensis*
powder is 2.5 × 10⁻⁶. 8 Spores / g. This invention discovered that *
Cladosporium flavum* is effective in killing citrus thrips and can be used as a
microbial agent for the control of citrus thrips. Furthermore, this invention combines *
Cladosporium flavum* with other existing bioactive ingredients and found that when combined with
methyl salicylate or
spinosad, it has a synergistic effect on killing citrus thrips. Compared with single-ingredient formulations, it can improve the
control effect on citrus thrips, possessing the advantages of being green, safe, and highly efficient, and can provide support for the research and development of biological pesticides for the control of citrus thrips.
