Dear Panos Klitsinaris

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) in the families Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae consider appropriate biological control agents , example: S. carpocapsae applied at the relatively low rate of 12.5 IJs/cm2 reduced black cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel) damage in Weld corn by more than 75%, which was as eVective as or more so than the chemical insecticides tested (Levine and Oloumi-Sadeghi, 1992).

Dear Panos,

Because of ambusher host finding strategy, S. carpocapsae is the most appropriate species for A. ipsilon. 

I also attached one of my paper.

Best regards

Dear Panos;

 Here I attach the my paper.
