Abstract: The spittlebug can seriously limit the production of forage, and the use of chemical products to control insect pests is costly and can harm the environment. Thus, there is a need to reduce the reliance on chemical agents by developing new strategies. The virulence of nine strains of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) to spittlebugs was investigated under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. Fourth/fifth-instar nymphs of Mahanarva spectabilis were exposed to EPNs in the laboratory and the most virulent strains… Show more

“…Infectivity, environmental tolerance and suitability for commercial formulations vary between EPN isolates and species2122 which can be used to control pests of various orders, such as Coleoptera232425, Hemiptera2627282930 and Lepidoptera313233.…”

“…Although IJ concentration for the control of different pests have been widely studied ( Gazit et al., 2000 ; Batista et al, 2014 ; Guo et al, 2017 ), the influence of soil texture at different IJ concentrations on pest control is poorly understood. For instance, Koppenhöfer and Fuzy (2006) found that the highest concentration of Steinernema scarabaei caused the highest mortality levels on Anomala orientalis (Coleoptera: Scarabeidae) in all substrates studied (loamy sand, sandy loam, loam, silt loam, acidic sand and potting mix).…”

“…Associations of fungi with other pathogens may also improve pest control (Meyling & Hajek 2010;Pell et al 2010). For example, nematodes have been shown to have effective action against nymphs and adults of M. spectabilis, but they are unable to penetrate eggs (Batista et al 2014). Fungi also can be combined with entomopathogenic bacteria, such as the Bacillus thuringiensis (Wraight et al 2009;Ansari et al 2010).…”

“…Sorokin (Clavicipitaceae) have been successfully used to control many spittlebug species (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) in pasture grasses and sugarcane (Destefano et al 2004, Domínguez et al 2016. Although nematodes also can be used to control spittlebugs, their inability to penetrate spittlebug eggs and their need to encounter the host (Batista et al 2014) makes the use of mycoinsecticides a more efficient approach to control such insects. Beauveria bassiana and M. anisopliae remain the most common fungi used as mycoinsecticides (Zimmermann 2007;Lubeck et al 2008;Hussain et al 2014;Domínguez et al 2016).…”
