Effects of live and dead (heat-killed) infective juveniles (IJs) of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema carpocapsae on nematodes associated with boxwood Buxus spp. were evaluated in field experiments during 1999 and 2000. Both living and dead IJs of S. carpocapsae were equally effective, causing more than 50% reduction in total populations of plant-parasitic nematodes relative to the cont...

The green macroalga Caulerpa ashmeadii was recently found in the North-eastern Atlantic Ocean, on southern coast of Porto Santo Island (Madeira archipelago). detected a subtidal soft-bottom forming scattered patches, mostly among calcareous macroalgae Halimeda incrassata and Penicillus capitatus, within depth range 18–26 m. Some isolated patches were also observed bare sand. species is currentl...

Sugarcane-associated nematodes (Saccharum spp.) can reduce productivity up to 50%. Through the survey, it was possible identify main that occur in a certain region as tool for designing best management and control strategies. The aim of this study characterize population associated with sugarcane North Central, Pioneiro Northwest mesoregion state Paraná, Brazil, quantify nematode genera crop sp...
