Abstract/Contents: | "Field tests were conducted in 1986 and 1987 to evaluate control of Japanese beetle larvae, Popillia japonica Newman, in turfgrass plots by heterorhabditid and steinernematid nematodes. Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar (NC strain) reduced populations a maximum of 60%, 34 d, 90% the next spring (290 d after treatment), and 0% after 386 d. A spring 1987 application of H. bacteriophora (HP88 strain) gave 100% control after 28 d in the spring of 1987, and 93-97% control of the next generation of larvae. No adverse effects on nontarget organisms (mites or collembola) were observed 28 d after treatments with any of the nematodes. Our data show that nematodes reproduce in Japanese beetle larvae, survive in the field in turfgrass, and have an influence on target hosts for a longer period of time than previously demonstrated." |
