Successes and failures in the use of parasitic nematodes for pest control (2006, background): “Nematodes have also been efficacious in controlling cocooned codling moth larvae in fruit bins which are treated by submersion or drenching, and subsequently kept damp and at 15–25 C for 24 h (Cossentine et al., 2002; Lacey and Chauvin, 1999; Lacey et al., 2006b).”
Codling moth granulovirus: a comprehensive review (2008, background): “Supplementing the control of neonate CM larvae with CpGV, entomopathogenic nematodes can be used to target overwintering larvae (Kaya, Joos, Falcon, and Berlowitz 1984 ; Lacey, Neven, Headrick, and Fritts 2005b ; Lacey, Arthurs, Unruh, Headrick, and Fritts 2006 ).”
Insect pathogens as biological control agents: Back to the future. (2015, methodology): “Additionally, enhanced control of codling moth, C. pomonella was observed based on use 1689 of optimum application equipment, addition of adjuvants, and mulching (Unruh and Lacey, 1690 2001; Lacey et al., 2006a,b).”
Entomopathogenic Nematodes in Sustainable Food Production (2020, background): “Applications of S. carpocapsae, S. feltiae, andH. zealandica in orchards (≥ 70% at 106 IJs/tree ∼ 109 IJs/ha) (e.g., Lacey et al., 2006; De Waal et al., 2011) and in fruit bins (up to 97% at 10–25 IJs/ml with adjuvant and humectant gel added) have provided effective control of overwintering larvae…”
