During peak leafhopper outbreaks, spraying tea plantations with Beauveria bassiana formulations in moderately humid conditions can achieve approximately 60% control effectiveness. In high-humidity tea microenvironments like those in Miaoxi, Sichuan, B. bassiana can cause epidemics within J. formosana populations, with infection rates reaching ...
