“…However, the prevalence of 3.5%, of these species, is similar to surveys in Turkey (2%, 9.1%)2549, Azores Archipelago, Portugal (3.9%)19 and Minas Gerais state, Brazil (9%)29. The absence of EPNs in plowed soil areas suggests inadequate conditions for nematode survival, but zero EPN detection in the natural forest was unexpected and may be due the low soil samples collected in this area.…”

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) (Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae) can control pests due to the mutualistic association with bacteria that kill the host by septicemia and make the environment favorable for EPNs development and reproduction. The diversity of EPNs in Brazilian soils requires further study. The identification of EPNs, adapted to environmental and climatic conditions of cultivated areas is important for sustainable pest suppression in integrated management programs in agricultural areas of Brazil. The objective was to identify EPNs isolated from agricultural soils with annual, fruit and forest crops in Brazil. Soil samples were collected and stored in 250 ml glass vials. The nematodes were isolated from these samples with live bait traps ([Galleria mellonella L. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvae]. Infective juveniles were collected with White traps and identified by DNA barcoding procedures by sequencing the D2/D3 expansion of the 28S rDNA region by PCR. EPNs identified in agricultural areas in Brazil were Heterorhabditis amazonensis, Metarhabditis rainai, Oscheios tipulae and Steinernema rarum. These species should be considered pest biocontrol agents in Brazilian agricultural areas.

“…There have been some reports of EPNs serving as biological control agents against Hemiptera species on the leaves (Martínez-Córdoba et al, 2011;Naranjo et al, 2013;Niekerk and Malan, 2013;Platt et al, 2020), trunks/stems/shoots (Shapiro-Ilan and Mizell, 2012;Marrero et al, 2015;Guide et al, 2015;Guide et al, 2019) and soil (Leite et al, 2005;Melo et al 2006;Batista and Auad, 2010;Vieux and Malan, 2013;Mbata and Shapiro-Ilan, 2013;Batista et al, 2014;Alves et al, 2009;Guerrero & Pardey, 2019;Moussa et al, 2021;Zart et al, 2021). Susceptibilities of these insects range widely, with some species being more resistant than other usually tested insect hosts, requiring high rate of EPNs (100 IJs/cm 2 ) to provide > 70% mortality (Guide et al, 2015;Guide et al, 2019).…”

The Neotropical brown stink bug Euschistus heros and the green-belly stink bug Dichelops melacanthus are the most important pests today for the succession system soy-corn in Brazil. D. melacanthus attacks the emerging shoot (epicotyl) of corn plants at the seedling stage of their development, remaining and reproducing on the straw over generations. E. heros, on the other hand, feeds directly on the grains and lodge under fallen leaves after the soybean harvest, due to the absence of another crop host.Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are capable of killing insects due to their ability to search for the host in the soil and to their associations with symbiotic bacteria that cause pathogenesis. This work aimed to assess strains of EPNs and their symbiotic bacteria regarding their potential to control adults of E. heros and D. melacanthus. EPNs could be used to kill the stink bugs adults remaining over the straws, while the symbiotic bacteria could be used to kill these insects above ground, being much easier to produce compared 2

“…In evaluating persistence in the same study, with application of the cadavers 60 days before the ticks were placed in the pots, the authors found efficacy levels of 60% and 43% for H. bacteriophora HP88 and H. baujardi LPP7, respectively [38] . The application of nematodes in insect cadavers was also efficient against snails of the species Bradybaena similaris (Fémssac) (Stylommatophora: Bradybaenidae) in the laboratory [41] and against spittlebug nymphs (M. spectabilis) in a greenhouse experiment [86] . Alves et al [20] conducted greenhouse and field tests to compare the efficiency of strains of Heterorhabditis, applied in aqueous suspension and insect cadavers, to control D. texensis adults.…”

“…In Brazil, this type of application has proved to be effective to control pests on different crops. In greenhouse experiments, the application of aqueous suspensions has been found to be effective against Conotrachelus psidii Marshall (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (guava weevil) [13] , Mahanarva spectabilis (Distant) (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) (spittlebug) [86] , Diabrotica speciosa (Germar) (leaf beetle) [25] , Sphenophorus levis Vaurie (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (sugarcane weevil) [16] and Dysmicoccus texensis (Tinsley) (Hemiptera, Pseudococcidae) [19] . With respect to field trials, good results have been obtained against M. fimbriolata (sugarcane root spittlebug) [11] , C. psidii [13] , Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) (fruit fly), Anastrepha fraterculus (Wied.)…”

HIGHLIGHTS• Lauro Travassos in 1927 created genus Steinernema.• Two new species of entomopathogenic nematodes were described.• Studies on ecology, biology, production, formulation and application of native species have been carried out since 2000. ABSTRACT:In Brazil, the first study with entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) was conducted by Lauro Travassos in 1927, when he created the genus Steineria, that latter was changed to Steinernema. After important meetings and courses, there was a great development of EPNs research in various states by different research groups in Brazil. Many EPN species were isolated throughout the country and two new species described: Heterorhabditis amazonensis and Steinernema brazilense. The behavioral aspects, life cycle and pathogenicity of native EPNs were analyzed. Also their persistence and survival in the soil and the biotic and abiotic factors that may affect their efficiency as biocontrol agents. Due to the particular native species characteristics, production, formulation and application technologies were developed for them. Here in we summarize main Brazilians studies in different areas using EPNs. This is the first review on the subject in Brazil.Keywords: biology, ecology, behavior, production, formulation.Cite as Dolinski C, Monteiro C, Andaló V, Leite LG.
