The western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis, is a significant economic pest among thysanopterans because of its massive feeding damage and ability to spread tospovirus to hundreds of plant species worldwide. To control this pest, chemical insecticides have been used but become unsatisfactory in the control efficacy due to the rapid resistance development of F. occidentalis. The cost-effective chitosan-based nanoparticle (NP) formulations as dsRNA insecticide gave > 80% mortalities in 7 days in the field condition. Nevertheless, the usage of NP-based dsRNA is hindered by the conflict between the excessive expense of producing dsRNA and the massive quantity of materials required for field application. Many research reports have demonstrated microbial-based dsRNA production using the L4440 vector and HT115 (DE3) Escherichia coli for application to vertebrate and invertebrate systems. In this study, we aimed to compare chitosan NP and bacterial formulation-based dsRNA control tactics against F. occidentalis using RNAi against the vacuolartype ATPase (vATPase) gene.

Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus are two bacterial genera specifically symbiotic to Steinernema and Heterorhabditis, which are the entomopathogenic nematode genera, respectively. These bacteria are well known to produce potent secondary metabolites suppressing insect immune responses. This study aimed to develop a potent mi crobial insecticide against the onion thrips, Thrips tabaci, using the bacterial metabolites. Among the chemical insecticides that have been used to control the thrips, spinosad was highly effective against both larvae and adults of T. tabaci. Three different entomopathogenic fungi were also effective to kill the thrips. However, the fungal virulence was much less than the control efficacy of the chemical insecticide, spinosad. To enhance the fungal virulence of Beauveria bassiana (Bb), the bacterial culture broth of Xenorhabdus/Photorhabdus was added to suppress the thrips immune defense. Among six different bacterial species, X. hominickii (Xh) produced highly potent metabolites to enhance the fungal virulence. Indeed, four different bacterial metabolites (GameXPeptide, benzylideneacetone, oxindole, and 3-ethoxy-4-methoxyphenol) of the bacteria suppressed the gene expressions of an antimicrobial peptide, lysozyme, which was highly inducible to the fungal infection. To optimize the mixture ratio of fungal and bacterial pathogens, the fungal conidia and bacterial culture broth were freeze-dried and mixed in different ratios. Laboratory and field assays showed that a mixture spray of freeze-dried Xh culture broth (3 g) and Bb conidia (1.17 × 10 9 conidia) in a liter was effective to control T. tabaci infesting welsh onion.
