Effects of storage temperature on viability and virulence of entomopathogenic nematodes Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar, 1976 (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae), Steinernema carpocapsae Weiser, 1955 and Steinernema feltiae Filipjev, 1934 (Rhabditida: Steinernematidae)

Turkish Journal of Entomology, 2023
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are a widely used biological control agent. The aim of the study was to detect efficacy and mortalities of some EPN stored at different temperatures and periods. Three EPN species were used in the study.

How effective are entomopathogenic nematodes for vine weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) biological control? A meta-analysis. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Entomopathogenic nematodes provide reliable biological control of vine weevil larvae, reducing populations by 63% on average. All five tested species are effective, with temperature (18–30 °C) being the strongest predictor of success. Abstract BACKGROUND Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) is a globally important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops

Effect of entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema species (steinernematidae: rhabditida) and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (heterorhabditidae: rhabditida) on the digestive enzymes and midgut histology of the African migratory locust Locusta migratoria migratorioides (acrididae: orthoptera)

International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2023
In some governorates of Egypt, the African migratory locust L. migratoria migratorioides is in a gregarious phase. Swarm development was successfully prevented by biological control agents.
