Behaviour and Population Dynamics of Entomopathogenic Nematodes Following Application

  • Chapter
Nematode Pathogenesis of Insects and Other Pests

Part of the book series: Sustainability in Plant and Crop Protection ((SUPP))

Abstract

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) of the genera Steinernema and Heterorhabditis are widely used in inundative biological pest control programmes. It has long been recognised that increased understanding of the ecology of EPN is important for better predictions of field performance and environmental risk (Ehlers & Hokkanen, 1996; Gaugler, Lewis, & Stuart, 1997). Increasingly, EPN are also finding a place as model organisms for fundamental studies in behavioural ecology and evolutionary biology (Campos-Herrera, Barbercheck, Hoy, & Stock, 2012). In this chapter, I consider the fate of EPN used in biocontrol, focussing largely on inundative application to soil. The aim is to provide an overview of the transformation of a biotechnological product to an ecological entity, rather than a review of this rather broad topic. There are already several extensive reviews relevant to the subject, including EPN behaviour and their fate in soil (e.g. Griffin, 2012; Kaya, 2002; Lewis, Campbell, Griffin, Kaya, & Peters, 2006; Stuart, Barbercheck, Grewal, Taylor, & Hoy, 2006; see also Chap. 4). It should be noted that, while the concept of this chapter is to follow the fate of commercially produced EPN when applied to soil, many of the laboratory studies cited have used nematodes produced in insects rather than taken from commercial formulations.
