Plant extracts of <em>Lawsonia inermis<\/em>, <em>Nerium oleander<\/em>, and <em>Conocarpus lancifolius<\/em> as well as fungal suspensions and bacterial toxins of the fungi <em>Acremonium fusidioides<\/em>, <em>Acremonium kiliense<\/em>, <em>Humoicola fuscoatra<\/em>, <em>Cladosporium oxysporum<\/em> and <em>Aspergillus carbonarius<\/em> were utilized in the biocontrol. Obtained result showed that ethanolic extract of <em>C. lancifolius<\/em> recorded the highest mortality proportion for nymphs reached to 76.29 % with a significant difference compared to rest treatments. However, both concentrations exceed 0.5 % concentration in the mortality percentage 49.78 % for whitefly nymphs. Our result indicated that there were no significant differences between the effect of fungal concentrations in the mortality portion on the nymphal stages of the whitefly which recorded (24.06, 26.07, 27.24, 28.39, 22.74) % respectively <em>Acremonium fusidioides<\/em>, <em>Acremonium kiliense<\/em>, <em>Humoicola fuscoatra<\/em>, <em>Cladosporium oxysporum<\/em> and <em>Aspergillus carbonarius<\/em>. Results elucidated also that there were no significant differences between fungal filtrates in the mortality percentage on nymphal stages of the whitefly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\"><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Whitefly, Plant extract, Fungal suspensions, Fungal toxins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif;\">\u00a0Full paper in Arabic:<a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/SjarEn\/wp-content\/uploads\/v13n5p23.pdf\"> PDF<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hayat Mohammed Ridhe Mehdi1, Shadha Fadhul Abddul Sayed1 and Enaam Mohammad Hussein1* 1 Plant protection, College of Agriculture, University of Basrah, Iraq, Iraq.
