Antagonistic factors, broadly identified as antibiosis, competition and natural enemies, impact on entomopathogenic nematodes. Antibiosis can occur through the release of plant chemicals from roots into soil, which may adversely affect host-finding behavior infective stage nematode, or presence these in host insect negatively nematode reproduction. In laboratory studies, intra-specific inter-specific reduces fitness, cause local extinction a species. For example, after concomitant infection...
Abstract Entomopathogenic nematodes and the chloronicotinyl insecticide, imidacloprid, interact synergistically on mortality of third‐instar white grubs (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae). The degree interaction, however, varies with nematode species, being synergistic for Steinernema glaseri (Steiner) Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar, but only additive kushidai Mamiya. mechanism interaction between imidacloprid these three entomopathogenic was studied in laboratory. In vials soil grass,...

ABSTRACT The production of an ant-deterrent factor(s) (ADF) by Xenorhabdus nematophila and Photorhabdus luminescens , the symbiotic bacteria nematodes Steinernema carpocapsae Heterorhabditis bacteriophora respectively, was examined. In addition to in vivo assay which were tested for their ability produce ADF within insect cadavers (M.E. Baur, H. K. Kaya, D. R. Strong, Biol. Control 12:231-236, 1998), vitro microtiter dish developed monitor activity produced grown cultures. Using these...
