This paper focuses on the application and efficacy of nematodes (e.g. Steinernema and Heterorhabditis spp.) against target pests (including white grubs, mole crickets, weevils, cutworms, webworms, armyworms, crane flies) in lawn, turfgrass and pastures. The factors affecting nematode efficacy and the necessity of conserving entomopathogenic nematodes in turfgrasses are also discussed.
