“…In case of S. glaseri, though the production of IJs increased initially with increase in IJs dose, it declined thereafter to 14.7 9 10 3 IJs/larva at the dose of 200 IJ/ larva. Differences in reproduction (i.e., production of F 1 generation infective juveniles) between nematode species have been documented for many insect hosts (Ali et al 2006;Karunakar et al 1999). The size and behaviour of nematode species may account for differences in nematode ability to reproduce in the host (Loya and Hower 2003).…”

The efficacy of three entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) species, Heterorhabditis indica, Steinernema thermophilum, and S. glaseri, from Meghalaya, India was studied against the larvae of taro leaf beetle, Aplosonyx chalybaeus (Hope) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), under the laboratory conditions. The beetle larvae (grubs) were exposed to 25, 50, 75, 100 and 200 infective juveniles (IJs) of each nematode species for different time periods and they were found to be susceptible to all the EPNs tested. However, the susceptibility of grubs to nematode infection varied according to the dosages of IJs and their exposure periods. Appreciably good performance was achieved by S. glaseri, which showed 100 % mortality of insect larvae in 48 h exposure time. At 48 h of incubation, its LC50 value was 90.3 IJs/larva, which was lower than that of S. thermophilum (115.0 IJs/larva) and H. indica (186.0 IJs/larva), at the same exposure time. All the tested nematode species were also found to reproduce within the host and produced infective juveniles. H. indica, however, showed comparatively more production of IJs per cadaver of infected host (168.9 × 10(3) IJs/larva), as compared to the other two tested nematode species. The production of IJs per cadaver of infected host by S. thermophilum was recorded to be 82.0 × 10(3) IJs/larva. In case of S. glaseri, while production of IJs increased initially to 18.9 × 10(3) IJs/larva at concentration of 100 IJs/larva, it declined thereafter to 14.7 × 10(3) IJs/larva at the dose of 200 IJs/larva. In conclusion, the evidence obtained in this study suggests that all the three indigenous EPN species are virulent enough to produce 100 % mortality in the last instar larvae of A. chalybaeus. These EPN species thus have potential scope for the management of A. chalybaeus in taro crops.

“…In this study, our results showed the safety of S. bicornutum 0311 and S. feltiae 0636 to both A. pernyi and B. mori, S. glaseri 0321 was only safe to A. pernyi and S. carpocapsae A24 was not safe to both A. pernyi and B. mori. It has been shown that S. carpocapsae and S. glaseri had high insecticidal activity to some Lepidopteran pests (Ali et al 2006;Chambers et al 2010;Cottrell et al 2011). Our result showed that these two EPNs had more virulence to the silkworms than the other two EPN species (S. bicornutum 0311and S. feltiae 0636).…”

Chinese oak silkworm (Antheraea pernyi) and mulberry silkworm (Bombyx mori) are economically important insects used for silk production and food resource. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) from the families of Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae are beneficial organisms currently considered in biological control. In this paper, we evaluated survival of two silkworm species exposed to four Steinernema species which are widely applied in pest control. The results showed that among four Steinernema species, S. bicornutum and S. feltiae did not have an effect on the larval survival to the two silkworm species, whereas S. carpocapsae and S. glaseri did have an effect. Each Steinernema species poses no threat to hatchability of eggs, pupation rate, larval durations and cocoon shell ratio.

“…Greater wax moth, G. mellonella L. has been widely used for the in vivo mass production of EPN. Other insects like Chilo sacchariphagus indicus, Helicoverpa armigera, Corcyra cephalonica and Athalia proxima have been used for the multiplication of various species of Steinernema and Heterorhabditis (Karunakar et al 1992;1999;Pervez et al 2007;Ali et al 2008). They have recorded varying yields of IJs depending upon the size of larvae of test insects.…”

The infectivity of entomopathogenic nematode (EPN), Steinernema mushtaqi was tested against legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata, tobacco caterpillar, Spodoptera litura, blue butterfly, Lampides boeticus, red hairy caterpillar, Amsacta moorei, brown bug, Clavigralla gibbosa, mealy bug, Centrococcus somatics, fruit borer, Earias vittella and green bug, Nezara viridula larvae and in vivo mass production of the above-tested species of EPN have been carried out during 2008. S. mushtaqi was found to be more pathogenic to A. moorei, as it brought about 100% mortality within 48 h, than to S. litura, L. boeticus, N. viriduala and E. vittella, as mortality occurred within 72 h; whereas this level of mortality was recorded in C. somatis, C. gibbosa and M. vitrata within 144 h. No mortality was observed in the control treatment. Multiplication of S. mushtaqi and the yield of infective juveniles (IJs) on these insects was the highest (0.94 6 10 5 IJs/cadaver) from N. viriduala, followed by S. litura (0.76 6 10 5 IJs/cadaver), L. boeticus as also C. gibbosa (0.31 6 10 5 IJs/cadaver) and M. vitrata (0.20 6 10 5 IJs/cadaver). Very poor populations of IJs were found from A. moorei (0.15 6 10 5 IJs/cadaver) and C. somatics (0.01 6 10 5 IJs/cadaver). No multiplication of IJs was found from the cadaver of E. vittella. This opens a new hope of utilising S. mushtaqi in the insect pests management programme.
