Survey of Entomopathogenic Nematodes and Fungi Endemic to Pecan Orchards of the Southeastern United States and Their Virulence to the Pecan Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) (2003, methodology): “Both the nematodes (Heterorhabditis and Steinernema spp.) and fungi (B. bassiana and M. anispoliae) are pathogenic to a wide variety of insects including a number of curculionid or other coleopteran pests (Booth et al. 2000, McCoy et al. 2000, Shapiro-Ilan et al. 2002).”
Successes and failures in the use of parasitic nematodes for pest control (2006, background): “At least six species of nematodes have been identified in Florida citrus orchards, but information about natural regulation of Diaprepes root weevil by endemic nematodes is scarce (McCoy et al., 2000).”
Application technology and environmental considerations for use of entomopathogenic nematodes in biological control (2006, methodology): “On the other hand, some insects that are less susceptible or can be found deep below the soil surface may require higher rates to achieve suYcient eYcacy, e.g., the Diaprepes root weevil (McCoy et al., 2000a; Shapiro-Ilan et al., 2002).”
