The development and use of entomopathogens as classical, conservation and augmentative
biological control agents have included a number of successes and some setbacks in the …

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

Small hive beetles (SHBs) are generalists native to sub-Saharan Africa and reproduce in
association with honeybees, bumblebees, stingless bees, fruits and meat. The SHB has …

Abstract Background Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in an aqueous suspension
treatment showed potential in the biocontrol of the red imported fire ant Solenopsis invicta …

The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of entomopathogenic nematodes
(EPNs) in the context of integrated pest management (IPM) and microbial control. Prior to …

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) belonging to the families heterorhabditidae (genus
Heterorhabditis) and steinernematidae (genus Steinernema) are mutualistically associated …

Aims The use of entomopathogenic nematodes in the biological control of soil insect pests is
hampered by the costly and inadequate application techniques. As a possible solution we …

The different materials and methods used to develop biopesticides with entomopathogenic
nematodes (EPNs) still limit the quality of the final product, reducing field efficacy and …

BACKGROUND The control of ticks is challenged by the resistance of tick populations to
chemical acaricides. In this study, we evaluated, under laboratory conditions, the efficacy of …

The critical factors in making entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) successful biological
control agents of crop insect pests are their production and application technology. EPNs …
