AI critic verdicts
- agroecologist · plausible
“Tamarixia radiata's high parasitism + host-feeding mortality on Diaphorina citri and its role in suppressing greening on Reunion are well-supported.”
- entomologist · plausible
“Tamarixia radiata (Eulophidae) ectoparasitizes 4th–5th instar D. citri nymphs and adds substantial host-feeding mortality, consistent with the cited 90% figure.”
