Entomopathogenic nematode dispensing robot: NEMABOT

open access: yesExpert Systems with Applications, 2021
Abstract Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are obligate endoparasites of many insect species and they are important biocontrol agents. Application strategies that improve precision and reduce labor would increase their potential in many cropping systems. We developed a unique robotic system to apply EPNs to a surface area precisely. The robotic system

Entomopathogenic nematodes for the biocontrol of ticks

Trends in Parasitology, 2001
Entomopathogenic steinemematid and heterorhabditid nematodes are increasingly used to control insect pests of economically important crops. Laboratory and field simulation trials show that ticks are also susceptible to these nematodes. The authors review the potential of entomogenous nematodes for the control of ticks.

Compatibility of entomopathogenic nematodes with fipronil

Journal of Helminthology, 2005
AbstractThe survival and infectivity of infective juveniles (IJs) of three species of entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema carpocapsae Weiser, S. arenarium (Artyukhovsky) (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae) and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae), were determined after exposure to different concentrations (250, 500, 1000 ...

Biodiversity of entomopathogenic nematodes in Italy

Journal of Helminthology, 2014
AbstractAn investigation was carried out on the distribution and biodiversity of steinernematid and heterorhabdtid entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) in nine regions of Italy in the period 1990–2010. More than 2000 samples were collected from 580 localities and 133 of them yielded EPN specimens.

In Vivo Production of Entomopathogenic Nematodes

2016
In nature, entomopathogenic nematodes in the genera Heterorhabditis and Steinernema are obligate parasites of insects. The nematodes are used widely as biopesticides for suppression of insect pests. More than a dozen entomopathogenic nematode species have been commercialized for use in biological control.

Advance of entomopathogenic nematodes

Journal of Forestry Research, 2001
This paper summarized the history and present condition of studying and utilizing entomopathogenic nematodes at home and abroad, expounded its taxonomy, life cycle and the mechanism with symbiotic bacteria killing host insect. Taxonomy, mycelial form, pathogenic function and anti-bacteria function of symbiotic bacteria were introduced.

Survival mechanism of entomopathogenic nematodes

2016 International Congress of Entomology, 1996
Entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae) are isolated from a wide variety of ecosystems ranging from sub-Arctic to arid and tropical climates. It is expected that natural populations of these nematodes will be pre-adapted to specific ecological conditions in their environments.
