Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 298-313, May 2026.Out of 136 identified EPNs, only 18 (8 Steinernema and 6 Heterorhabditis) are commercialised globally, highlighting a major gap between discovery and application. High production costs and inconsistent field efficacy are the leading obstacles to the widespread commercialisation of EPN‐based biocontrol products.

Feeding Preference and Foraging Behaviour of Eriopis connexa on Two Aphid Species
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 4, Page 444-453, May 2026.ABSTRACT Aphids are phloem‐feeding insects that cause both direct and indirect damage to crops, reducing agricultural productivity. Among the available pest control strategies, biological control using natural enemies is a sustainable and effective approach. The ladybird Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) is a generalist predator known for its voracity and
