Efficacy of Steinernema carpocapsae for control of the lesser peachtree borer, Synanthedon pictipes: Improved aboveground suppression with a novel gel application (2010, background): “Conceivably, improved formulations or application techniques may improve efficacy of aboveground applications with entomopathogenic nematodes (Shapiro-Ilan et al., 2006; Lacey and Shapiro-Ilan, 2008).”
Fall armyworm in Africa: a guide for integrated pest management (2018, background): “Another advantage of applying nematodes during these timings is the low exposure of the nematodes to UV as they can die instantly if exposed to UV light (Shapiro-Ilan et al. 2006).”
Successes and failures in the use of parasitic nematodes for pest control (2006, background): “feltiae is now commercially available against the western flower thrips (Shapiro-Ilan et al., 2006).”
Insect pathogens as biological control agents: Back to the future. (2015, background): “Environmental factors are also critical in determining 1627 efficacy of EPN applications (Shapiro-Ilan et al., 2006a; Shapiro-Ilan et al., 2012b).”
