Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 148, Issue 8, Page 977-982, September 2024.Abstract Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), especially Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, are promising candidates for biological control of Popillia japonica larvae. Thus, there is a need to study native strains to ensure biological agents adapted to specific environmental conditions to improve their effectiveness in field applications. This work aimed to

How maize root volatiles affect the efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes in controlling the western corn rootworm? [PDF]
, 2018 Because the ferocious maize pest Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte can adapt to all currently used control strategies, focus has turned to the development of novel, more sustainable control methods, such as biological control using entomopathogenic ...

Further Screening of Entomopathogenic Fungi and Nematodes as Control Agents for Drosophila suzukii
Insects, 2016 Drosophila suzukii populations remain low in the UK. To date, there have been no reports of widespread damage. Previous research demonstrated that various species of entomopathogenic fungi and nematodes could potentially suppress D.

Pest categorisation of Popillia quadriguttata
EFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 6, June 2024.Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Popillia quadriguttata (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), following a commodity risk assessment of bonsai Pinus parviflora grafted onto P. thunbergii from China, in which P. quadriguttata was identified as a pest of possible concern for the territory of the European Union.
