use of native Turkish entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) isolates, <i>Heterorhabditis bacteriophora </i> FLH-4H
(Poinar, 1975) (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae), <i>Steinernema carpocapsae </i> KCS-4S (Weiser, 1955) (Rhabditida:
Steinernematidae) and <i>Steinernema feltiae </i>
KMP-9S (Filipjev, 1934), with two biopesticides, 40 g/ L Azadirachtin and 480
g/ L Spinosad, was investigated under laboratory conditions. The effects of
these biopesticides on the viability and virulence of IJs of EPN isolates was
studied by direct exposure to the biopesticides for 24 h and 48 h at the
highest concentrations recommended for field application. Survival rates of the
EPN isolates ranged between 5% and 21%. <i>Heterorhabditis </i> <i>bacteriophora </i> FLH-4H was the most
tolerant isolate, with mortality of IJs not exceeding 12% for both exposure
times. The biopesticides did not affect the virulence of the EPNs, with the
mortality of <i>Galleria mellonella </i> L.
(Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvae ranging between 70% and 95%. </span> <span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-gb"> </span> <b> </b> <i> </i> <u> </u> <sub> </sub> <sup> </sup> <strike> </strike> <br /> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Türkiye Biyolojik Mücadele Derneği}
