Biodiversità dei nematodi entomopatogeni in Sicilia: caratterizzazione molecolare, biologia e batteri simbionti
… stati rinvenuti complessivamente 45 isolati (34 steinernematidi e 11 heterorabditidi). Le specie identificate sono cinque: Steinernema feltiae Filipjev, 1934; S. kraussei (Steiner, 1923) Travassos, 1927; S. apuliae Triggiani, Mráček & Reid, 2004; Steinernema sp., probabile nuova specie, …

Non chemical alternatives for pest management: Entomopathogenic nematodes and UV-C light
… four species of entomopathogenic nematode (EPN), Steinernema feltiae, Steinernema carpocapsae, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, Heterorhabditis indica; and, 2) the efficacy of UV-C radiation applied, pre-transport, as a preventative disease control strategy against Botrytis cinerea. A study was …

The efficacy of two novel insecticides to control nuisance diptera breeding in sewage biological filters
… regulator pyriproxyfen and a biological nematode Steinernema feltiae for thecontrol of sewage flies were assessed. Both insecticides targeted primarily Sylvicolafenestralis, but also the chironomids Metriocnemus hygropetricus and Limnophyesminimus. Initial laboratory studies determined that …

Diallyl polysulfides from garlic: mode of action and applications in agriculture.
… organisms (B. subtilis and the nematode Steinernema feltiae). To exploit the polysulfide chemistry for the development of a “green” nematicide, the nematicidal activity of DAS was investigated in bioassays as well as the efficacy of DAS formulations towards plant pathogenic nematodes …

Ecology and management of wireworms (Coleoptera: Elateridae) in conventional and organic production systems
… showed the higher efficacy of commercial EPN, Steinernema feltiae, against Limonius species than entomopathogenic fungi. In Chapter 3, we focused on cultural control as a component of integrated pest management for wireworm control. We evaluated the efficacy of brown and yellow mustard and …

Effect of an alternative viticulture on native entomopathogenic nematodes and other organisms linked to their soil food web in DOCa Rioja vineyards
… studies were Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, Steinernema feltiae, and the new EPN species S. riojaense, identified and isolated during the progress of this Thesis. Overall, EPN abundance and activity were higher for cover cropping and mulching than conventional soil management practices in …

The Molecular Signatures of Adaptive Plasticity in Parasitic Nematodes
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN; Steinernema spp. and Heterorhabditis spp.) are parasites which kill and reproduce within insects. The infective juvenile (IJ) is a developmentally arrested, nonfeeding, stress tolerant stage which forages in the soil for new insects to infect. IJs carry symbiotic …
