Biochar Suppresses Growth, Pupation and Eclosion Success of a Specialist (Manduca sexta) and a Generalist (Spodoptera frugiperda) Insect Herbivore

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Biochar is a charcoal‐like substance made by the pyrolysis of organic material from agricultural and forestry waste. While biochar is well documented for altering soil physicochemical conditions, few studies have investigated its possible effects on the management of arthropod pests.

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

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 ...

Responses of Anastrepha suspensa, Diachasmimorpha longicaudata, and Sensitivity of Guava Production to Heterorhabditis bacteriophora in Fruit Fly Integrated Pest Management

Journal of nematology, 2018
Caribbean fruit fly, also known as Caribfly or Anastrepha suspensa, is a major tephritid pest of guavas. A virulent entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) species was investigated to suppress the fruit-to-soil stages of Caribflies, which are also attacked by ...

Ecological aspects of three strains of entomopathogenic nematodes from the department of Lambayeque-Peru

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control
Background Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are used as a biological control agent for different insect pests in agriculture. The genera Heterorhabditis and Steinernema are the most used commercially.

A survey of entomopathogenic nematode species in continental Portugal [PDF]

, 2014
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are lethal parasites of insects, used as biocontrol agents. The objectives of this work were to survey the presence of EPN in continental Portugal and to characterize the different species.

Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Poinar) - the first member from Heterorhabditidae family in Slovenia

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2009
In August 2008, we examined 95 soil samples for the occurrence of entomopathogenic nematodes in eastern part of Slovenia. 11 samples from 9 different locations were positive to entomopathogenic nematodes, but to this time only sample D54 was analysed ...

Isolation and Molecular Identification of Entomopathogenic Nematodes (Steinernema and Heterorhabditis) From East Java and Bali [PDF]

, 2018
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

Characterization of Heterorhabditis isolates by PCR amplification of segments of mtDNA and rDNA genes [PDF]

, 2018
Restriction digests of amplified DNA from the mitochondrial genome and the nuclear ribosomal internally transcribed spacer region have been evaluated as genetic markers for species groups in Heterorhabditis. Six RFLP profiles have been identified.
