Abstract:
... The potential for integrating the application of Heterorhabditis indica Poinar, Karunakar, and David (Homl strain) and release of Habrobracon hebetor (Say) in the management of the Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), was investigated in the laboratory. A combination of the nematode and the parasitoid was observed to increase the mortality of P. interpunctella. The interaction between ...

Abstract:
... The Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hubner), is a cosmopolitan pest of stored products, infesting most commodities in warehouses and grain bins. We studied the susceptibility of Indianmeal moth adults and larvae to seven entomopathogenic nematode species and strains. The nematodes studied were Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar (HP88, Lewiston, and Oswego strains); H. indica Poinar, Karu ...
