An invasive pest, Spiralling whitefly, Aleurodicus dispersus incidence has been noticed on Guava, Mango, papaya, Banana, coconut and pomegranate crops in Telangana, India during 2020-22,later it spread to ornamental plants. Aleurodicus dispersus, spiralling white fly was observed on the underside of leaves along with the presence of white waxy material honey dew around the whitefly infested area, sooty mould formation and drying of infested leaves observed in infected plants. By targeting the eggs of spirling whiteflies, the life cycle and the population of Aleurodicus dispersus is reduced. This is the first study in Telangana to examine the efficacy of Mundulea sericea bark and leaves as a ovicidal agent against spiralling whitefly that is a major threat to Agriculture and Horticulture crops, after exposing the plant extract for 24 hrs egg mortality was observed. This discovery has significant implications for pest control, its a eco-friendly alternative to synthetic chemical insecticides.
