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

Potential of endophytic Beauveria bassiana against Coraebus (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) oak borers
This study demonstrates that an endophytic, oak‐associated strain of Beauveria bassiana exhibits adaptations to Quercus plants and potential against Coraebus boring beetles, supported by distinctive biological traits. Abstract BACKGROUND Oak borers in the genus Coraebus, including the bark‐ and the wood‐boring beetles C. florentinus and C. undatus, are
