Behaviour features of entomopathogenic nematodes (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) in the presence of dead host insects
Submitted by Гость (not verified) on Tue, 07/09/2024 - 16:45The authors have experimentally established a possibility of penetration and development of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) in the corpses of insects killed not only by the nematodes themselves, but also under the influence of, insecticides, for example, negative temperatures, or other insect pathogens. This fact indicates the need to study the biology of these organisms to ensure objective assessment of the prospects of their effective practical use in agriculture.
