Abstract Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are among the most serious agricultural pests globally, causing significant economic losses in fruit production and posing major quarantine concerns for many countries. Bactrocera zonata , one of harmful species family Tephritidae, has recently established Iraq. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) potential EPNs can be used as vital tools integrated pest management (IPM) programs both organic conventional systems. In our study, three – two native...
Abstract A population of Oscheius insectivorus was recovered from inside the body a live scarab beetle collected natural forests Jafar Abad village, Golestan province, and reported Iran for first time. The Iranian isolate species is characterized by 1103–1942 μm long females with their vulva at 46.9–57.4% body, tail 75–118 long, males spicules 60.0–74.5 gubernaculum 23.7–32.2 infective juveniles measuring 790–985 long. Females had shorter when compared type population. Molecular...
Abstract The box tree moth (BTM), Cydalima perspectalis and the fall webworm (FWW), Hyphantria cunea are two invasive pests of forest trees that have been recorded from Hyracinan forests in north Iran for first time 2016 2002, respectively. In a search tentative native entomopathogenic nematode species (EPNs) with potential biocontrol ability against lepidopteran Iran, Oscheius myriophilus was isolated by soil-baiting method Amlash east Gilan province. Iranian isolate this is characterized...
