Susceptibility of Pupae of Two Cocoon-forming Lepidopterous Species to the Entomogenous Nematode, Neoaplectana carpocapsae (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae).

T h e intent would be to reduce or delay the nematode populat ion build-up until an acceptable yield was assured, as is usual with toxic nonfumigant nematicides. An added benefit of nematode control with amino acids is the human nutr i t ional value of any residual material. Furthermore, these findings clearly establish the feasibility of alternative chemotherapy as a practical, safe means of managing nematode pest populations for acceptable crop production.
