“…Dactylopius opuntiae can be controlled using fully or moderately resistant cactus cultivars (Borges et al, 2013), chemicals (pyrethroid, organophosphate, mineral oils and neem) and predators (Chamaemyiidae, Coccinellidae, Pyralidae, Syrphidae and Hemerobiidae), as reported in Mexico (Vannegas-Rico et al, 2010). Heavy rain also reduces the development of this scale insect by removing nymphs from the cladodes (Moran et al, 1987).…”

First report of the Opuntia cochineal scale Dactylopius opuntiae (Hemiptera: Dactylopiidae) in Morocco

The Opuntia cochineal scale Dactylopius opuntiae (Cockerell) (Hemiptera: Dactylopiidae) causes severe damage to prickly pear (Opuntia ficus‐indica (L.) Miller). This scale insect was first detected in Morocco in 2015 during sampling in the cactus crop in the Sidi Bennour region (120 km north‐west of Marrakech). Methods for sampling, preservation and identification are described. Although this scale insect can be used for the production of the natural dye carmine, the damage it can cause is considerable. A pest risk analysis should be carried out and the ensuing management measures implemented to prevent severe economic and ecological losses.

“…Previous chemicals studies leaf extract, stem and bark L. ferrea reported the presence of flavonoids, saponines, tannins, gallic acid, coumarins, steroids and phenolic compounds (Gonzales, Barros, & Bach, 2004;Wyrepkowski et al, 2014 (Borges et al, 2013;Silva et al, 2015).…”

“…Among these, Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill. (Caryophyllales: Cactaceae), a cactaceous of Mexican origin it is an important for the economic development of arid and semiarid areas, particularly in Latin America, mainly in Brazil and Mexico, where the palm is widely used as a food source, especially for animals of dairy production, because of their content water (± 90%) and nutrients as soluble carbohydrates, calcium and vitamins (Ennouri, Fetoui, Bourret, Zeghal, & Attia, 2006;Vilela et al, 2010;Borges et al, 2013;Perez-Ramirez, Castrejón-Ayala, & Jiménez-Pérez, 2014). The nutritional significance of the palm fruit give the ascorbic acid, content of fibers and free amin acids (Stintzing, Schieber, & Carle, 2001), and the seed accumulates protein before fruit ripening (Walker, Famiani, Baldicchi, Cruz-Castillo, & Inglese, 2011), with palm potential in medicine due to its anti-inflammatory action, antioxidant and prevention of ulcers (Galati, Mendello, Giuffrida, & Miceli, 2001;Park, Kahng, Lee, & Shin, 2001;Lee, H. R. Kim, J. Kim, & Jam, 2002).…”

“…However, the use of chemical insecticides for the control of large outbreaks D. opuntiae infestation is recommended (Santos et al, 2006), and the use of resistant cultivars palms to keep the cochineal insect pest at levels which do not damage and increase the productivity of plantations (Borges et al, 2013;Falção, Oliveira, Mergulhão, Silva, & Santos, 2013). In addition, an alternative to be tested for the control of D. opuntiae is the use of plant extracts.…”

“…These substances have insecticidal action more beneficial compared to chemicals because they are renewable, easily degradable and do not contaminate the environment (Oliveira, Lins-Neto, Araújo, & Albuquerque, 2007). Previous studies have reported the action the of extracts and vegetable oils and other bioactive substances in control of nymphs and adults of D. opuntiae (Vigueras et al, 2009;Vázquez-Garcia, Garabito-Espinoza, Tabares-Vega, & Castillo-Herrera, 2011;Borges et al, 2013;Pérez-Ramirez et al, 2014;Santos, Oliveira, Costa, Tiago, & Oliveira, 2015).…”

The carmine cochineal (Dactylopius opuntiae) is an insect-plague of Opuntia ficus-indica palm crops, causing losses in the production of the vegetable used as forage for the Brazilian semiarid animals. The objective of this work was to analyze the efficacy of plant extracts, insecticides and their combination in the control of D. opuntiae. Leaf and pod extracts of Libidibia ferrea var. ferrea, Agave sisalana leaf at concentrations 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 mg/mL, and insecticides (chlorpyrifos, acetamiprid, thiamethoxam and lamba-cyhalothrin) at concentrations minimum, median and maximum; were applied on cladodes infested by D. opuntiae. After 10 days of treatment, the percentages of mortality and LC 50 (concentration to kill 50% of cochineal) were obtained on the stages of nymphs II and adult females. The association between the LC 50 of the plant extracts with the insecticides on the cochineal it was tested. The results showed that L. ferrea extracts were more effective against cochineal, causing the 81% of nymphal II mortality (LC 50 : 20 to 160 mg/mL) and 97% of adult females (LC 50 : 43 to 50 mg/mL), whereas the extracts of A. sisalana only controlled adult females, causing the mortality from 51 to 97% (LC 50 : 17 to 46 mg/mL). The insecticide chlorpyrifos was the most efficient on nymphs and adult females cochineal (LC 50 : 0,084 mL/L). The combination of this insecticide with the extracts promoted a percentage of mortality above 90%. The extracts presented insecticidal potential on D. opuntiae and can be tested isolated or in combination with insecticides in control of cochineal.
