e1“Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are increasingly being used as biological control of insect pests due to their successful biocontrol activity against various economically important insect pests”
Title
Entomopathogenic nematodes as biocontrol agents of insect pests in orchards.
T. Belien CABI Reviews 2019. doi:10.1079/pavsnnr201813058
Other claims from this paper (3)
- Association Control activity and persistence of EPNs in orchards are reduced by low-temperature regimes and desiccation.
- Association Interactions between EPNs and other control agents can be synergistic, additive or antagonistic.
- Recommendation Successful implementation of EPNs in orchards requires that their usage fits into an IPM strategy.
