The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Field persistence of the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora in different crops (2008, background): “On the foliage EPN usually persist for hours rather than days ( Schroer and Ehlers 2005a ).”
Efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes against the tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta in laboratory and greenhouse conditions (2010, background): “Schroer and Ehlers (2005) found that nematodes invaded the diamondback larvae (Plutella xylostella) within 1 h after foliar application of S. carpocapsae and obtained a mean survival of IJs greater than 3 h. Kim et al. (2006) also showed a 12 h survival time of IJs of S. carpocapsae in foliar…”
Insect pathogens as biological control agents: Back to the future. (2015, background): “…of the sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci, in the 1664 greenhouses (>80% control) (Cuthbertson, et al., 2007) and application of S. carpocapsae for 1665 control of P. xylostella, which is enhanced by a novel surfactant-polymer formulation (Schroer 1666 and Ehlers, 2005; Schroer et al., 2005).”
