“…2 ranged between 40 and 67 %. In this case, the ants did not destroy the insect cadavers, but just moved them away from their nest (Del Valle, Dolinski, Barreto, & Souza, 2009). However, when the insect cadavers were covered by gelatine capsules, neither Ectatomma species responded to their presence.…”

“…The authors observed that the ants transported insect cadavers to a distance greater than 1 m away from the nest, reaching up to 4 m. Ectatomma sp. 1 presented more aggressive response in the presence of insect cadavers, since these ants removed them in larger quantities and more quickly (Del Valle et al, 2009). Gülcü, Hazir, and Kaya (2012) investigated the response of several scavenger insects to nematode infected host.…”

“…Ansari et al (2009) used a kaolin-starch mixture and Del Valle et al (2009) used unflavoured gelatin; both authors demonstrated that the coating provided protection and promoted the conservation of the insect cadavers. Another alternative was developed by Shapiro-Ilan et al (2010) and Morales-Ramos et al (2013).…”

“…EPN-infected cadavers have proved to be a good alternative to the direct application of EPNs for the control of soil pests, especially on the basis of the results of Ansari et al (2009), Del Valle et al (2009, and Spence et al (2011) to solve the problem of the fragility of the cadavers. In order to obtain an optimal product, we consider necessary: increasing the survival time at room temperature, standardising the final product and evaluating these technologies with other nematode species of economic importance for crop protection.…”

Cruz-Martínez H., Ruiz-Vega J., Matadamas-Ortíz P.T., Cortés-Martínez C.I., Rosas-Diaz J. (2017): Formulation of entomopathogenic nematodes for crop pest control -a review. Plant Protect. Sci., 53: 15-24.The different materials and methods used to develop biopesticides with entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) still limit the quality of the final product, reducing field efficacy and complicating application strategies. Therefore, the objective of this review is to identify priority areas to improve the EPN formulation process based on the scientific and technological research developed so far. The results show great progress in the EPN survival time, from 7 days to 180 days, through two types of formulations: water dispersible granules and calcium alginate capsules. Also, EPNs formulated and applied as insect cadavers showed higher efficacy for the pest control than the EPNs applied in an aqueous solution. We consider that the priority areas of research are: automated massive formulation and exploration of new additives with better properties that may lead to increase the infectivity in the field. It is concluded that the study of these aspects requires a systemic approach with greater involvement of the invertebrate physiology and systems modelling disciplines.

“…For instance, on the ground, insect cadavers are subject to the action of organisms such as ants, which may alter the effectiveness of the application. Del Valle et al [84] determined the effects of different coatings of G. mellonella insect cadavers infected by H. baujardi LPP7, and evaluated the behavior of Ectatomma spp. ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) toward the cadavers.…”

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.
