“…Petri dishes, treated with distilled water only, served as control. The experimental conditions were maintained at 25 ± 2°C, 75 ± 5% RH, and 12:12 (D:L) hour photoperiod in an incubator (Minas et al 2016 andRaheel et al, 2017). Mortality data were recorded on third, sixth, and ninth day post exposure to EPNs.…”

Efficacy of H. baujardi LPP7 was evaluated against the fruit fly pupae by Minas et al (2016) and recorded more than 80% mortality rate after application of 816 IJs/cm 2 . Most fruit fly larvae come out from the fruit for pupation in the soil at depth of few centimeters.…”

The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is one of the major insect pests which renders the fruit to become unfit for human consumption. In severe cases, losses may reach up to 100% in some fruit crops. The present study aimed to investigate the pathogenicity of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, H. indica, Steinernema carpocapsae, and S. asiaticum against B. dorsalis maggots and pupae under laboratory conditions. One milliliter of EPNs, having 50, 75, and 100 infective juveniles (IJs) against maggots and 100, 150, and 200 IJs against pupae, were poured into 9 cm Petri dishes with 20 g sterilized soil as supporting media. The highest maggots' mortality (70%) was obtained after 3 days of application of H. bacteriophora and S. carpocapsae and reached up to (96%) after 9 days. S. asiaticum and H. indica caused 91.16 and 85.87% mortality, respectively, after 9 days post treatment at the highest nematode concentration (100 IJs/ml). Whereas, against the fruit fly pupae, H. bacteriophora caused 69.08% mortality after 9 days at the highest concentration (200 IJs/ml). All nematode species showed high effectiveness against both stages of B. dorsalis. Their application can be further evaluated under field conditions to promote a good biological control of fruit flies for healthier fruit production.

“…This optimal EPN concentration is much lower than reported in the literature by Minas et al (2016) and Gazit et al (2000) who conducted similar work on other tephritid pests. For example , Minas et al (2016) reported 87% mortality of C. capitata when a H. baujardi strain was applied at much higher concentration (237IJs/cm 2 ). In addition, Gazit et al (2000) demonstrated that 100…”

“…These findings agree with earlier work of Gazit et al (2000) who reported that S. riobrave could cause up to 20% mortality in young pupae of C. capitata. In addition, recent work of Minas et al (2016) revealed that up 100% mortality of C. capitata 1 day old pupae could be achieved when applying H. baujardi LPP7 at higher concentration (1079 IJs/ cm2). However, this is in contrast to Langford et al (2014), Malan and Manrakhan (2009), and Yee and Lacy (2003) who observed no pupae susceptibility of B. tryoni, C. capitata/C.…”

“…This offers an opportunity to EPN IJs present in the soil to invade B. dorsalis larvae or pupae even if the exposure time to the larvae is relatively short.

Pathogenicity of indigenous entomopathogenic nematodes from Benin against mango fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) under laboratory conditions

Bactrocera dorsalis fruit fly is the economically most significant tephritid pest species on Mango, Mangifera indica L., in Benin, and entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) represent good candidates for its control in the soil. In this study, the susceptibility of larvae and pupae of B. dorsalis to 12 EPN isolates originating from Benin was investigated. The effect of nematode concentrations (20, 50, 100, 200 and 300 Infective Juveniles (IJs)/ B. dorsalis larva) and of different substrate moisture content (10, 15, 20, 25 and 30% v/w) on B. dorsalis mortality at the larval stage was studied. Also, the reproduction potential inside B. dorsalis larvae was assessed. Our results revealed that the susceptibility of B. dorsalis larvae was significantly different among the 12 tested nematode isolates with H. taysearae isolate Azohoue2 causing the greatest insect mortality (96.09±1.44%). The lowest insect mortality (7.03±4.43%) was recorded with Steinernema sp. strain Bembereke. Significant differences in insect mortality were recorded when EPNs were applied at varying IJs concentrations. A concentration of 100 nematodes of either H. taysearae Azohoue2 or H. taysearae Hessa1 per B. dorsalis larva was enough to kill at least 90% of B. dorsalis larvae. Larvae were less susceptible to nematodes at higher moisture content (25% and 30%). In addition, pupae were less susceptible to nematodes than larvae. Furthermore, the tested nematode isolates were able to reproduce inside B. dorsalis third instar larva or pupa with the Heterorhabditis isolates giving the greatest multiplication rate (59577.2 IJs ± 14307.41).
