Harnessing entomopathogenic nematodes for sustainable pest management: mechanisms, challenges, and innovations [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) of the genera Heterorhabditis and Steinernema are increasingly recognized as potent biological control agents due to their ability to infect and kill diverse insect pest taxa through a symbiotic partnership with insect ...

Entomopathogenic nematodes targeting the control of the corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), under laboratory conditions [PDF]

Helminthologia
The corn leafhopper, Dalbulus maidis (DeLong & Wolcott) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), was considered a secondary pest in Brazilian corn crops. However, from 2015 onwards, there was a significant increase in its population and a high incidence of both pale ...
