Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Heterorhabditis bacteriophora infected Odontotermis obesus and caused mortality within the mound.
- Intervention effect Soldier mortality of O. obesus was highest (30.4%) when mounds were treated with H. bacteriophora at 5.0 × 109 IJs/mound thrice as soil drenching.
- Observation The H. bacteriophora population multiplied and established in both workers and soldiers of O. obesus.
- Intervention effect Persistence of H. bacteriophora one month after the last application was better, shown by Galleria mellonella larval mortality of 7.2 to 35.8%.
