Mass Production of the Entomogenous Nematode Heterorhabditis heliothidis (Nematoda: Heterorhabditidae) on Artificial Media.
Heterorhabditis heliothidis is reared monoxenically on an artificial medium consisting of commercially available nutrient broth, yeast extract, and vegetable oil. These components are cooked with flour and coated onto polyether polyurethane sponge, autoclaved, inoculated with a suspension of the bacterial symbiont of the nematode, and incubated at 25 C for 3 d. The bacterial garden on sponge pr...
متن کاملEFFECT OF MINI-SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEM ON Heterorhabditis baujardi LPP7 (NEMATODA: HETERORHABDITIDAE) INFECTIVE JUVENILE
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are currently being used as successful biological control agents of soil-dwelling insect pests. Previous field and greenhouse studies demonstrated that application techniques and non-biotic factors (temperature and pressure) have a significant effect on EPNs efficacy. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of an irrigation spray application s...
متن کاملCharacterization of an isolate of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Nematoda: Heterorhabditidae) from the Northern Territory, Australia, using morphology and molecular data.
An entomopathogenic nematode, Heterorhabditis H39, was found in Darwin, Australia. Based on morphological and morphometric similarities, and molecular characterisation, it is an isolate of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora. Males, hermaphrodites, females and juveniles showed important similarities on most characters that define H. bacteriophora. The morphometrics of the infective juvenile of Hetero...
متن کاملVertical Migration of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and H. heliothidis (Nematoda: Heterorhabditidae) in Sandy Loam Soil.
The entomogenous nematodes Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar and H. heliothidis (Khan, Brooks, and Hirschmann) and their associated bacterium Xenorhabdus luminescens (Poinar and Thomas) have been tested against a humher of insect pests with some encouraging results (11). Simons (14) obtained 90% control of tile black vine weevil, Otiorhynchus sulcatus Fab., after applying Heterorhabditis sp....
متن کاملHeterorhabditis amazonensis n. sp. (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae) from Amazonas, Brazil
In a survey of entomopathogenic nematodes in Brazil, a nematode isolate of the genus Heterorhabditis was found. The nematode was collected from soil by the insect-baiting technique and maintained in the laboratory on last instar Galleria mellonella (L.) larvae. Morphological and molecular studies of the isolate showed that the nematode is a new species. Light and scanning electron microscopy, D...
