“…With respect to Dipel 2x ® as a B. thuringiensis product, and Radiant ® insecticide as a Spinetoram product, they were slightly toxic to the tested EPNs. This conclusion agreed to some extent with those obtained by Morales-Rodriguez and Peck (2009) who mentioned that the synergism integration between EPN (IJs) and Dipel 2x ® yielded promising alternatives to control the host insects, which one of its life stages in the soil. However, this study revealed the effect on the reproductive capacity of treated EPNs female with previous insecticides as compared to untreated EPNs, especially on the EPNs first generation performance, that obtained from insecticide-treated EPNs, under the same conditions.…”

The toxicity effect of five insecticides (Dipel 2x, Radiant, Proclaim, Aphox and Coragen) on two species of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) (Heterorhabditis bacteriophora BA1 and Steinernema carpocapsae BA2), were evaluated under laboratory conditions at different concentrations 100%, 50% and 25% of field rates (FR). Moreover, the virulence of insecticide-treated EPNs against the l st nymphal instar of the greater wax moth Galleria mellonella L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) was also evaluated. Data indicated that all insecticides showed negative effect on the tested infective juveniles (IJs) of EPNs and the percentages of mortality were in order of H. bacteriophora BA1>S. carpocapsae BA2 and were concentration-dependent; significant differences existed between untreated (control) and insecticide treatments EPNs. Proclaim insecticide recorded the highest mortality rate in EPNs at all tested concentrations 24, 48 and 72 hours post treatment. Regarding the effect of tested insecticides on the virulence and the reproductive capacity of treated EPNs, data indicated that the ability of insecticide-treated EPNs to locate and infect larvae of G. mellonella decreased after exposure to insecticide and consequently reproductive capacity of EPNs was significantly reduced.

“…Thus such combinations can be used to enhance pest control. In terms of combinations with chemical insecticides, a body of research indicates that neonicotinoids can be synergistically combined with EPNs for control of scarab pests (Koppenhöfer & Fuzy, 2008;Morales-Rodriguez & Peck, 2009). Yet recent research indicated only additive or antagonistic interactions for the control of Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) (Navarro, McMullen, & Stock, 2014), which again emphasizes the variation that exists among EPN and host species.…”

“…In such a case, the new biopesticide technology can be adopted quickly and easily. However, IPM tactics may be synergistic, such that one tactic in the portfolio results in an improved performance in others [65,66]. This is beneficial for IPM, but the interdependency of different tactics in this way can make it difficult to substitute with new technologies as they become available.…”

Over the past 50 years, crop protection has relied heavily on synthetic chemical pesticides, but their availability is now declining as a result of new legislation and the evolution of resistance in pest populations. Therefore, alternative pest management tactics are needed. Biopesticides are pest management agents based on living micro-organisms or natural products. They have proven potential for pest management and they are being used across the world. However, they are regulated by systems designed originally for chemical pesticides that have created market entry barriers by imposing burdensome costs on the biopesticide industry. There are also significant technical barriers to making biopesticides more effective. In the European Union, a greater emphasis on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) as part of agricultural policy may lead to innovations in the way that biopesticides are regulated. There are also new opportunities for developing biopesticides in IPM by combining ecological science with post-genomics technologies. The new biopesticide products that will result from this research will bring with them new regulatory and economic challenges that must be addressed through joint working between social and natural scientists, policy makers and industry.
