Biocontrol success when using entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the genera
Heterorhabditis and Steinernema relies on a variety of factors including components of the …

Advances in mass-production and formulation technology of entomopathogenic nematodes,
the discovery of numerous isolates/strains and the desirability of reducing pesticide usage …

A wide range of technology is available for application of entomopathogenic nematodes
including various irrigation systems and spray equipment. The choice of application …

We discuss the behavior and ecology of entomopathogenic nematodes in relation to their
successes and failures as biological control agents. Four categories of studies have been …

▪ Abstract The Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman, an introduced scarab, has
become the most widespread and destructive insect pest of turf, landscapes, and nursery …

The factors which influence the success or failure of biological control programmes with
entomopathogenic nematodes are discussed. Case studies of insect control in 3 different …

Entomopathogenic nematodes (Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae) are insect
parasites that appear to use both cruising and ambushing search strategies. Cruising …

Foraging strategies of eight species of entomopathogenic nematodes were predicted from
their response to host volatile cues and dispersal behaviour on 2-dimensional substrates …

This chapter discusses some aspects (bacterial taxonomy and co-speciation with
nematodes, phenotypic variation, pathogenicity, and isolation of symbionts and …

Biological control manipulations of natural enemies to reduce pest populations represent
large-scale ecological experiments that have both benefited from and contributed to various …
