“…The diamond back moth, Plutella xylostella L. (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae) is a serious pest of cabbage and other crucifers. In laboratory trials, the LD 50 for P. xylostella was found to be 12 S. carpocapsae larvae per insect (Zolfagharian et al, 2014). Field trials in Cuba, Marrero (2006) obtained 72% control with a spray application of H. indica, while Rodríguez et al (2013) also showed a reduction in the number of P. xylostella on cabbage with H. bacteriophora in another trial.…”

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), of the families Steinernema and Heterorhabditis, are insect parasites that have been successfully used as biological control agents of soil-based insect pests on the North American and European continents. The success of nematodes as biological control agents of the soil stages of pest insects has led to research into their use for control of above-ground insect pests. Laboratorybased studies have shown exceptionally good control, in most cases, against such pests as mealybugs, codling moth and leaf miners. As the life stages of the above-ground insect pests have not co-evolved together with those of EPNs, they are, generally, more susceptible than the soil-based life stages. However, EPNs are susceptible to desiccation and vulnerable to UV radiation, so that ensuring their survival beyond soil environments is problematic. The impetus to avoid environmental stressors can cause EPNs to seek sheltered, cryptic habitats on foliage, where their target insect pest (such as mealybugs) may be found. The current paper provides an overview of information on the application of EPNs as a biocontrol agent for the control of insect pests above ground and on foliage, with particular reference to research done in South Africa.

“…In previous research, entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) have been successfully tested as potential biological control agents of insect pests in Iran (Ebrahimi et al 2011;Sheykhnejad et al 2014;Zolfagharian et al 2015Zolfagharian et al , 2016. Thus far, the biocontrol strategies applied for X. luteola have been proven as being insufficient to prevent damage.…”

The susceptibility of the elm leaf beetle, Xanthogaleruca luteola Müller (Col.: Chrysomelidae), 3rd instar larvae and adults to the entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema feltiae, S. carpocapsae, and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora was determined in laboratory assays. Larval mortality was assessed at 0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, and 112 h after exposure of the larvae and adults to six concentrations (0, 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500) of infective juveniles (IJs) per mL. The median lethal concentration (LC50) values for each nematode species against the larvae and adults of X. luteola were 167.59 and 6.73 IJ·mL–1 for S. feltiae, 218.23 and 204.09 IJ·mL–1 for S. carpocapsae, and 338.66 and 70.29 IJ·mL–1 for H. bacteriophora, respectively. Also, the median lethal time (LT50) values for each nematode species against the larvae and adults of X. luteola were 44.51 and 22.23 h for S. feltiae, 50.78 and 36.17 h for S. carpocapsae, and 67.64 and 34.71 h for H. bacteriophora, respectively. The S. feltiae nematode was the most effective species in controlling the larvae and adults of the elm leaf beetle, X. luteola. Based on these and other results, the research could be expanded on the prospects of using entomopathogenic nematodes, especially S. feltiae, in managing of the elm leaf beetle, X. luteola.
