Codling moth Cydia pomonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is the main pest of apple all over world. Besides usage broad spectrum insecticides being control for C. pomonella, also there a potential entomapathogen nematodes(EPN) same control. In this study, efficacies four entomopathogenic nematode species [Steinernema carpocapsae (Tokat Bakisli05), S. feltiae (Tokat-Emir), Heterorhabditis bac...

Abstract Background The codling moth (CM), Cydia pomonella (L). (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), is an important pest of apple in Turkey and other producing countries the world. Several control methods are available for reducing populations. Entomopathogenic nematode (EPNs), example, can be used as a potential alternative to chemical insecticides larvae soil eco-friendly management their hosts that ...

The South American tomato pinworm, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) is one of the most serious insect pests plants. Current control strategies for T. primarily involve use insecticides, but increasing resistance in field populations has prompted research on alternative measures. Biological with entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) can be an or component Integrated Pest Management programme. In foliar appli...

Abstract Hyalesthes obsoletus Signoret (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha: Cixiidae) is a univoltine, polyphagous planthopper that completes its life cycle, including the subterranean nymph cryptic stage, on herbaceous weeds. In vineyards, it can transmit ‘ Candidatus Phytoplasma solani’, an obligate parasitic bacterium associated with bois noir (BN) disease of grapevine, from host plants to grapevine...

Odontotermes obesus (Blattodea: Termitidae) is a prevalent subterranean wood-eating termite species that causes damage to mature trees, saplings and seedlings. The efficacy of most synthetic insecticides against this notorious pest has been compromised primarily because its enigmatic feeding behavior development resistance number insecticides. It therefore become necessary explore other alterna...

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are important biological control agents of insect pests. Strains or isolates obtained in specific regions and utilized situ might contribute to the success EPNs, since they adapted local abiotic conditions. We isolated identified three each Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar Steinernema carpocapsae (Weiser) from soils at Saltillo, Coahuila State, Mexico. Thes...

One of the pest organisms reducing potato production is Colorado Potato Beetle [Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say) (Coleoptera: Chrysomalidae)] (CPB). CPB a polyphagous that damages every-stage potato. Although entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in world have been demonstrated by many laboratories and field/garden studies activity against harmful groups, very few conducted on our country (Türkiye)....

Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is an economically important pest of variety crops, including maize (Zea mays L.), rice (Oryza sativa and cotton (Gossypium spp.). Conventional chemical insecticides are usually used for management this pest; however, a viable alternative the use microbial agents or their biological products, such as entomopathogenic nematodes. Their e...

A soil survey for entomopathogenic nematodes was conducted throughout the nine islands of the Azorean archipelago. Forty-six out of 1,180 samples (3.9%) were positive, with Heterorhabditis spp. isolated from 30 sites on six islands and Steinernema spp. isolated from 16 sites on three islands. São Miguel and Terceira Islands were positive for both genera, and Pico Island was positive only for St...
