Abstract/Contents:Discusses using entomopathogenic nematodes in combination with imidacloprid for white grub control. Presents a study on the efficacy of imidacloprid-nematode combinations for white grub control that "suggested that the synergistic interaction could occur at imidacloprid rates as low as 10-25% of the recommended field rate [but] the extent to which the chemical can be reduced seems to depend on a number of conditions including timing of application (earlier better) and white grub species." Also presents a laboratory study on "the effect of imidacloprid exposure on various white grub defensive mechanisms." Results from this study include that "in vials with soil and grass, mortality, speed of kill, and nematode establishment were negatively affected by imidacloprid with S. kushidai but positively affected with S. glaseri and H. bacteriophora. In all other experiments, imidacloprid had a similar effect for all three nematode species on various factors important for the successful nematode infection in white grubs."
