Objective: The aim of the present study was to screen the Metarhizium strains with high virulence against the larvae of Dorysthenes hydropicus, a serious pest of Citrus grandis.
Method: Thirty six strains of Metarhiziums were isolated from the soil of C. grandis GAP base and collected from other institutions, and the pathogenicity of these strains against 1st instar larvae of D.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on the biological traits of Dorysthenes hydropicus within Cirtus grandis farms to provide evidence for its management and control.
- - The research discovered that D. hydropicus reproduces every 1-2 years, overwinters as larvae, and exhibits a significant population size, with females capable of laying up to 543 eggs, mainly hatching late June to early July.
- - The findings indicate that D. hydropicus poses a significant threat to Cirtus grandis, leading to the death of thousands of trees annually, highlighting the need for effective prevention strategies.
