Management of Root-knot Nematode Using Entomopathogenic Nematodes: Biological control of insect pests using entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN s) has gained popularity world over in recent past as they have long term effect against target pests without any adverse effect on non-target organisms. These are potential bioagents, highly virulent, have broader host range and can bring out quick kill of the target pests. Preliminary studies have shown that EPN s are equally pathogenic to plant parasitic nematodes also. The results obtained from series of experiments conducted to find out the effect of...

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are parasites of insects. EPNs are currently used as biopesticides for controlling several important insect pest worlds wide. EPNs are extraordinarily lethal to many important soil insect pests, yet are safe for plant and animals. This high degree of safety means that unlike chemicals or even Bacillus thuringiensis, nematode application do not require masks or other safety equipments. Biological control of insect pests using EPNs has gained importance in the recent year. Because they are highly virulent, killing their host within 24 to 48 hrs. They can be...
