The Role of Ascorbate–Glutathione System and Volatiles Emitted by Insect-Damaged Lettuce Roots as Navigation Signals for Insect and Slug Parasitic Nematodes [PDF]
Insects, 2023 The effect of wireworm-damaged lettuce roots on the antioxidative defense system (ascorbate–glutathione cycle, photosynthetic pigments) and movement of insect/slug parasitic nematodes towards determined root exudates was studied in a glasshouse ...

Chemotactic Responses of Slug-Parasitic Nematodes to Barley Root-Emitted Volatile Organic Compounds [PDF]
AgronomySlug-parasitic nematodes are promising biological control agents against gastropod pests, yet their responses to cereal root volatiles remain poorly understood. We evaluated the chemotactic behavior of Phasmarhabditis papillosa, Oscheius myriophilus, and

Chemotactic Responses of Slug-Parasitic Nematodes to Potato-Tuber-Emitted Volatile Organic Compounds [PDF]
AgronomyParasitic nematodes play a vital role in soil ecosystems, contributing to natural pest suppression. Among them, slug-parasitic species such as Phasmarhabditis papillosa (Schneider) Andrassy, Oscheius myriophilus (Poinar), and Oscheius onirici Torrini et ...

Investigating the Side-Effects of Neem-Derived Pesticides on Commercial Entomopathogenic and Slug-Parasitic Nematode Products Under Laboratory Conditions [PDF]
Plants, 2019 Lethal effects of neem derived pesticides (neem leaf extract (NLE) and NeemAzal-T/S (NA)) were examined on different entomopathogenic (EPN) and slug-parasitic (SPN) nematodes.

First Report on the Effect of Aqueous Extracts of Hungarian Organic Mulch Materials on Entomopathogenic and Slug-Parasitic Nematodes [PDF]
Acta Phytopathologica et Entomologica Hungarica, 2019 Few researches address the compatibility of organic mulching and entomopathogenic (EPN) and slug-parasitic (SPN) nematodes, although organic mulching may provide favourable conditions for these beneficial organisms.

Thirty years of slug control using the parasitic nematode
Pest Management Science, 2023 Several slug species are highly pestiferous and threaten global sustainable agriculture. Current control methods rely heavily on metaldehyde pellets, which are often ineffective, harm non-target organisms and have been banned in some countries.

Microbiome dynamics associated with the infection of grey field slugs by the biocontrol nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyThe facultative-parasitic nematode Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita has been used for many years as a biological control agent targeting slug pests. During the nematode’s infection process, the presence of certain bacteria has been suggested to affect the ...
