| screening spanish isolates of steinernematid nematodes for use as biological control agents through laboratory and greenhouse microcosm studies. | entomopathogenic nematodes (epns) are one of the best non-chemical alternatives for insect pest control, with native epn strains that are adapted to local conditions considered to be ideal candidates for regional biological control programs. virulence screening of 17 native mediterranean epn strains was performed to select the most promising strain for regional insect pest control. steinernema feltiae (filipjev) (rhabditida: steinernematidae) rioja strain produced 7%, 91% and 33% larval mortalit ... | 2009 | 19073191 |
