Isolation and Molecular Identification of Entomopathogenic Nematodes (Steinernema and Heterorhabditis) From East Java and Bali [PDF]
Entomopathogenic nematode of the families Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae is one of the best biological control agents of insect pests. Native isolates maybe more efficacious in controlling insect pests than imported ones because they have adapted

Tritrophic interactions among Bt maize, an insect pest and entomopathogens: effects on development and survival of western corn rootworm [PDF]
Agricultural systems often provide a model for testing ecological hypotheses, while ecological theory can enable more effective pest management. One of the best examples of this is the interaction between host-plant resistance and natural enemies.
