“…Many studies have been started for testing the pathogenicity of these indigenous EPN species all over the world (Ozer et al, 1995;Kepenekci, 2002;Hazir et al, 2003;Unlu et al, 2007 andErbas et al, 2013). There are some differences known in terms of survival, pathogenicity and host range between indigenous and non-indigenous EPN species (Lacey and Georgis, 2012).…”

Peridroma saucia (Hubner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a polyphagous pest that attacks nearly all vegetable fields in Turkey. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are successfully used as a biological control agent. The efficacy of four EPNs, Steinernema carpocapsae, S. feltia, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and H. indica against the last instar larvae of the pest, was tested under laboratory conditions. Suspensions of nematodes were applied at four concentrations (10, 50, 100 and 200 infective juveniles/larva) at 25 ± 1°C. Mortality percent was evaluated 48 and 96 h post application. Mortality rate increased with increasing concentrations. The highest effect caused 70% mortality by H. bacteriophora and H. indica species after 48 h exposure time and the lowest mortality was 33% for Steinernema carpocapsae. There was no significant difference between virulence of Heterohabditis spp. and Steinernema spp. when tested against the larvae of P. saucia after 96 h exposure time. These results showed that EPNs have a significant potential in the biological control of P. saucia under controlled conditions.

“…All of which increase the importance of our isolate. Considering that the findings of this study will contribute significantly to integrated pest management of mole crickets and under soil pests such as Agrotis segetum, Agriotes lineatus and Melolontha melolontha [34][35][36][37]. Future work will indicates the potential role of this nematode in natural regulation of mole crickets.…”

B u çalışmada, Türkiye'de Karadeniz Bölgesi'nden toplanan Avrupa danaburnu (Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa L., Orthoptera: Gryllotalpidae) populasyonundan bir nematod suşu izole edildi. Suş, morfometrik ve moleküler (ITS kısmi sekansı) özelliklerine göre Oscheius myriophila olarak tanımlandı. Dauer jüvenillerin bu türleri Rhabditis myriophila (Poinar, 1986)'ya benzemekle birlikte, O. myriophila sahip olduğu; vücut uzunluğu (571.3-693.9) ve baştan sinir halkasına olan uzunluk (100-116.8), ve küçük kuyruk uzunluğu (53.4-76.8) ve anüs genişliği (10.4-13.8) özellikleriyle farklıdır. Bu evre, nematodu bir kılıf gibi kuşatan ikinci evre kütikül içinde bulunan üçüncü evre jüvenildir. rDNA'nın ITS bölgesinin sıraları bu tanımlamayı doğruladı. Bu tür G. gryllotalpa'da ilk kez kaydedildi.

“…Many isolates and species found in Turkey provide vast opportunities for conducting fundamental studies with nematodes as well as for use in biological control programs against a number of soil pests (Hazir et al, 2003a). Several surveys in Turkey have been conducted and have isolated several species belonging to the families Steinernematidae and the Heterorhabditidae (Ozer et al, 1995;Kepenekci, 2002;Hazir et al, 2003a;Kepenekci and Susurluk, 2003; et Yılmaz et al, 2009;Gokce et al, 2013;Erbaş et al, 2014) (Ansari et al, 2003) and many entomopathogenic nematodes have been tested for their biological control activity against various economically important pests such as white grubs (Shapiro-Ilan et al, 2002;Nermut et al, 2012). Five Steinernema species, namely S. glaseri (Steiner, 1929), S. arenarium (S. anomali) (Artyukhovsky, 1967), S. feltiae (Filipjev, 1934), S. kushidai (Mamiya, 1988), and S. scarabei (Stock and Koppenhöfer, 2003), have been shown to have a parasitic effect on certain insects worldwide.…”

Entomopathogenic nematodes were isolated from a population of larvae of the cutworm Agrotis segetum Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775 (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) collected from the Black Sea region of Turkey in 2009 using White traps. The isolated nematodes were identified as Steinernema websteri based on morphological and molecular properties. Steinernema websteri was also found for the first time in Turkey and in A. segetum larvae. The efficacy of isolates was tested on A. segetum larvae in plastic boxes. Different concentrations of nematodes (100, 300, and 500 infective juveniles (IJs) g -1 of dry sand) at 23 ± 1 °C were used. The obtained mortality percentages were 100% with the concentration of 500 IJs g -1 of dry sand within 5 days after application under laboratory conditions. Our results indicate that S. websteri is a promising biological control agent against A. segetum, which is one of the most serious subsoil pests plaguing agricultural crops and fruits worldwide.
