Attraction of entomopathogenic nematodes to black truffle and its volatile organic compounds: A new approach for truffle beetle biocontrol

open access: yesJournal of Invertebrate Pathology
The European truffle beetle, Leiodes cinnamomeus, is the most important pest in black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) plantations. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are a promising biological control agents against L. cinnamomeus. EPNs may employ multiple sensory cues while seeking for hosts, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and CO2 gradients. We
