Evaluation of twenty-eight strains of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora isolated in Azores for biocontrol of the armyworm, Pseudaletia unipuncta (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

2004-03-01

Abstract excerpt

The armyworm, Pseudaletia unipuncta, is the most important pest in Azorean pastures. Although this pest has some parasitoids and pathogens, additional biological control agents are needed to manage it. Entomopathogenic nematodes, particularly Heterorhaditis bacteriophora, are good candidates because they have been isolated from pastures and crops in almost all islands of the Azorean Archipelago. We tested 28 Azore...
