White grub management by entomopathogenic nematodes

Author:

Gitanjali Devi

Subject Area:

Life Sciences

Abstract:

White grub cause extensive damage to many agricultural and horticultural crops as well as turf grass. The pests are difficult to control due to the cryptic habit of the larvae in the soil. Cultural, mechanical and chemical methods of control are recommended for the management of these pests. The application and/or management of pathogenic microorganisms have been advocated as an ecofriendly control strategy for insect pests. One of the promising biological control agents is the entomopathogenic nematodes for the management of white grub populations. Entomopathogenic nematodes offer an environmentally safe and IPM compatible alternative to chemical insecticides for the control of white grubs.
