BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF CORN ROOTWORM LARVAE USING ENTOMOPATHOGENIC NEMATODES, 1997

BIOLOGICAL CONTROL Susceptibility of House Fly (Diptera: Muscidae) Larvae to Entomopathogenic Nematodes (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae, Steinernematidae)

The potential for entomopathogenic nematodes to control ßies in cattle feedlots was determined by screening 40 strains representing 8 species of Heterorhabditis Poinar and 5 species of Steinernema Travassos for virulence toward 3rd-instar house ßies (maggots), Musca domestica L. None of the 22 strains of Heterorhabditis infecting maggots caused signiÞcant levels of mortality in a Þlter paper as...

Entomopathogenic nematodes for the biological control of insects.

Nematode parasites of insects have been known since the 17th century (33), but it was only in the 1930s, that serious consideration was given to using a nematode to Control an insect. In 1929, Glaser and Fox (19) found a nematode infecting grubs of the Japanese beetle, PopilIiajaponica, at the Tavistock Golf Course near Haddonfield, New Jersey. Steiner (44) described the nematode that same year...

Biopesticides from Entomopathogenic Nematodes

Karimipour Fard H. and Saeidi K. 2019. Biopesticides from entomopathogenic nematodes   Plant Pathology Science 8(1): 60-73. DOI: 10.2982/PPS.8.1.60.   In the recant decade, biopesticides with entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) have been developed with using different methods and materials. But the production of such biopesticides has always accompanied by some limitations such as low quality o...

CONTROL OF INSECT PESTS WITH ENTOMOPATHOGENIC NEMATODES I. Control of Weevils with Entomopathogenic Nematodes

Entomopathogenic nematodes in the genus Steinernema and Heterorhabditis have been successfully commercialized as biological control agents for a variety of curculionid species. Nematode-based products have been introduced for: 1) root weevils, Otiorhynchus spp. 2) billbugs, Sphenophorus spp. 3) the apopka weevil, Diaprepes abbreviatus, and 4) the citrus root weevil, Pachnaeus litus. Several oth...
