| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the impact of several species of white grubs found in the United States, including the Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica), the masked chafer (Cyclocephala spp.), the oriental beetle (Anomala orientalis), the European chafer (Rhizotrogus majalis) and the Asiatic garden beetle (Maladera castanea). Suggests the use of entomopathogenic nematodes as an environmentally safe control option. Describes studies conducted to study "the effect of different soil types and moisture levels on the infectivity and survival of [S. scarabaei]." Presents other studies testing the effect of soil type on nematode infectivity, the effect of soil type on nematode persistence, and the effect of soil mositure on nematode infectivity. Concludes that "long-term white grub suppression should be achievable over a wide range of soil conditions. The major problem still to overcome in the commercialization of S. scarabaei is the development of effective mass production technology, which has proven to be difficult and may require more in-depth studies on S. scarabaei's nutritional requirements." |
