Field evaluation of entomopathogenic nematodes for biological control of striped flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

Abstract: The striped flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolata (F.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is a key pest of crucifer vegetables in Southern China. The use of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) within an integrated pest management approach may offer an effective and environmentally safe strategy to suppress outbreaks of this pest. In the present study, the efficacy of Steinernema carpocapsae All and Heterorhabditis indica LN2 for the control of P. striolata in the field was evaluated, as well as the combined application of… Show more

“…Fire ants foraging on plants did not significantly reduce the number of A. cerana and P. rapae, but they did reduce the number of 2 hover fly species, E. quinquestriatus and E. quinquelineatus, in addition to P. striolata, which is an important pest of B. napus (Yan et al 2013). This result indicates that fire ants may reduce the infestation by P. striolata as well as the pollination activity of P. striolata.…”

“…Damaged seedling rate was calculated as percentage of damaged seedlings to total number of plants in each plot. Increase in cabbage yield was calculated using the following equation: ly{%) = ((Ft -Yc)/Yc) x 100, where /y is the increase of the cabbage yield in the treatment, and Yc and Ft represent the weights of 50 cabbages per plot in the control and treatment, respectively (Yan et al, 2013). Percentage data were arcsine square root transformed prior to statistical analysis performed with SPSS 16.0 software (SPSS).…”

“…Nematode persistence in the soil was evaluated by assessing the mortality of G. mellonella larvae, buried in the field 7 and 14 days after application of EPN (Yan et al, 2013). Twenty days after application, 50 cabbages per plot were randomly harvested according to routine procedures for preparing the cabbages for the market.…”

“…larvae, which either mine in plant petioles or roots, or feed externally on roots (Vig, 2004). There is scarce information on predation of the immature life stages of Phyllotreta spp., but several laboratory and field studies investigated the efficacy of entomopathogenic fungi and nematodes to control the soil-dwelling life stages of P. striolata and Phyllotreta cruciferae, showing variable success (Reddy et al, 2014;Xu, Clercq, Moens, Chen, & Han, 2010;Yan, Han, Moens, Chen, & Clercq, 2013;Yan, Lin, Huang, & Han, 2018).…”
