Costs and benefits of insecticide and foliar nutrient applications to huanglongbing‐infected citrus trees

“…Foliar nutrition recipes included a horticultural mineral oil (HMO) component (applied at 46.77 L ha −1 ) as an adjuvant. HMO has been attributed with repelling ACP adults . However, effects of HMO applications on ACP alightment are likely low, given the infrequency of application.…”

The push–pull strategy for citrus psyllid control

“…HMOs work by suppressing attractant plant volatiles, releasing repellent volatiles and reducing the number of eggs deposited . However, different HMOs differ significantly in their repelling capacity against ACP . Some HMOs are highly effective on ACP, but their practical use is still under development .…”

The Asian Citrus Greening Disease (Huanglongbing): Evidence Note on Invasiveness and Potential Economic Impacts for East Africa

“…These mineral oils offer an economically-attractive and environmentally-safe pest management option which can, in many cases, be accepted for organic production (Stansly and Conner, 2004). Oils have the additional effect of repelling adults from new flush, thereby reducing oviposition and deposits of emulsified HMO on foliage also reduce landing rates, feeding and reproduction on citrus (Ouyang et al, 2013). Studies have indicated that effectivity of HMOs is enhanced when combined with improved canopy management (pruning) (Khalid et al, 2012) and should coincide with critical stages in order to ensure efficient suppression of insect population (Rae et al, 1997).…”
