Application methods for entomopathogenic nematodes (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae): Aqueous suspensions versus infected cadavers
Florida Entomologist 77 (2), 281-284
Abstract: Aqueous suspensions of HP88 nematodes were as effective as applications of Galleria mellonella cadavers infected with HP88 for controlling damage by sweetpotato weevil to storage roots. Persistence of nematodes was similar for the two types of application.
