Active resistance of entomophagous rhabditid Heterorhabditis bacteriophora to insect immunity
Parasitology, 1998 A specific extracellular proteinase, degrading selectively the cecropin-based defence system of insects, is secreted into the larval body during parasitism of the greater wax moth by the Heterorhabditis bacteriophora/Photorhabdus luminescens complex and by phase 1 of P. luminescens.

An investigation of chemotaxis in the insect parasitic nematodeHeterorhabditis bacteriophora
Parasitology, 2003 We tested the chemotactic responses of dauer juvenile stages (DJs) of the insect parasitic nematodeHeterorhabditis bacteriophorato a variety of compounds that are known to be highly attractive or highly repellent toCaenorhabditis elegans. WhileH. bacteriophoraDJs respond to alcohols and some aromatic compounds as well as to host metabolites such as ...

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.

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 ...

Insect immunity in the Anthropocene
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 2, Page 698-723, April 2025.ABSTRACT Anthropogenic activities result in global change, including climate change, landscape degradation and pollution, that can alter insect physiology and immune defences. These changes may have contributed to global insect decline and the dynamics of insect‐transmitted diseases.

Black vine weevil and other wingless weevils: are there any effective conrol methods applicable in outdoor strawberry in Nordic countries? [PDF]
, 2006 The black vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) is a common pest in Central Europe but rather new on outdoor crops in Finland. Spreading of enthomopathogenic nematodes against weevils by drip irrigation was tested at MTT during 2003-2004.

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2005 Efficacy of four species of entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernema feltiae, S. carpocapsae, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, H. megidis) for the control of granary weevil adults (Sitophilus granarius) was tested under laboratory condition.

Cryopreservation of Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora.
Journal of nematology, 2011 A method for the cryopreservation of third-stage infective juveniles (IJ) of Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabiditis bacteriophora was developed. Cryoprotection was achieved by incubating the nematodes in 22% glycerol (S. carpocapsae) or 14% glycerol (H. bacteriophora) for 24 hours, followed by 70% methanol at 0 C for 10 minutes.

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 1, January/February 2025.Abstract Long‐term comparisons over several years between organic and synthetic management are lacking in sports turf research. Our objective was to investigate playing surface qualities and soil properties over an 8‐year period. For this trial, Kentucky bluegrass (KBG, Poa pratensis L.) sod was established and annually inter‐seeded with perennial ...
