Journal ArticleDOI
Insect pathogens as biological control agents: Back to the future.
Lawrence A. Lacey,David Grzywacz,David I. Shapiro-Ilan,Roger Frutos,M. Brownbridge,Mark S. Goettel +5 more
TL;DR: Current information on development, use and future directions of insect-specific viruses, bacteria, fungi and nematodes as components of integrated pest management strategies for control of arthropod pests of crops, forests, urban habitats, and insects of medical and veterinary importance is presented.
BookDOI
Nematodes as biocontrol agents
TL;DR: A Systems Approach to Conservation of Entomopathogenic Nematodes and Interactions with Agrochemicals and Other Biocontrol Agents is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application technology and environmental considerations for use of entomopathogenic nematodes in biological control
TL;DR: With some exceptions foliar applications have been less successful than soil applications due to nematode susceptibility to desiccation and UV; recent research, however, indicates that frequent low-rate applications of nematodes to foliage can result in substantial suppression of greenhouse pests such as thrips.
Journal Article
Entomopathogenic nematode production and application technology
TL;DR: This review provides a summary and analysis of factors that affect production and application of EPNs and offers insights for their future in biological insect suppression.
