Selection, development and testing of phage-resistant strains of Serratia entomophila for grass grub control

1992-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Use of the bacterium Serratia entomophila as an inundative biological control agent for the New Zealand grass grub (Costelytra zealandica) depends on the consistent production of high yields of the bacterium in liquid fermentation. Following the phage related failure of several S. entomophila fermentations, a programme was initiated to isolate phage-resistant strains. No naturally occurring strains were found to b...
