Study on the combined action of the entomopathogenic bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki and the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora
Abstract:The interaction between the entomopathogenic bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki and the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (Heterorhabditidae) was examined against larvae of Ephestia kuehniella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) at 7, 14, 21 and 28 days post treatment, in laboratory conditions. Three different combinations of the aforementioned pathogens were tested on 4 th instar larvae, namely 500ppm B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (B.t.k.) and H. bacteriophora infective Juveniles (… Show more
