Improving control of the cabbage root fly with entomopathogenic nematodes Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are a biological control option for Delia radicum. This paper compares the control effects of different application techniques, different application rates and of the timing of the application(s). It demonstrates that: (1) a plant tray spray with Steinernema feltiae is superior to a drench/injection treatment in controlling D. radicum; (2) plant tray sprays with S. feltiae can reduce the number of cauliflower ...
