VIRULENCE OF ENTOMOPATHOGENIC NEMATODE–BACTERIA COMPLEXES FOR LARVAE OF NOCTUIDS, A GEOMETRID, AND A PYRALID
Abstract Nine entomopathogenic nematode–bacteria complexes were screened for their virulence against larvae of six noctuids, a geometrid, and a pyralid. Ninety-six-hour LD 50 ’s of steinernematids (and heterorhabditids) ranged from 1 to 3 (1–8) infective juveniles in Galleria mellonella (L.), 1–71 (...
