This was common at any concentration used. Based on mortality percentages, all tested fungi and nematode had high potentials for biocontrol agents against S. gregaria.

Steinernema carpocapsae is an entomopathogenic nematode that employs nictation and jumping behaviours to find potential insect hosts. Here we aimed to investigate the transcriptional basis of variant hostfinding behaviours in the infective juvenile (IJ) stage of three S. carpocapsae strains (ALL, Breton and UK1), with a focus on neuronal genes known to influence behaviour in other nematode species.

The common cutworm (turnip moth) Agrotis segetum (Denis & Schiffermuller) is nearly cosmopolitan insect pest of potato. The efficacy of the entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis indica was evaluated against different developmental stages of A. segetum under laboratory conditions. In laboratory studies, significant mortality of second instar larvae was recorded by H. indica (73.3-100 per cent) and 63.3-100 per cent by S. carpocapsae after 48 hrs of treatment at EPNs suspension of 50-300 IJs/ml (1 ml per larva).
