Identifying key parameters for reliable assessment of entomopathogenic nematodes viability as affected by spray application stress-related factors

BACKGROUND: Conventional pesticide application equipment (PAE) is used to apply entomopathogenic nematode (EPN)- based bioinsecticides, but their closed hydraulic systems could raise the temperature of the spray mixture up to 40 °C, potentially harming EPN, since temperatures above 30 °C can immob...

description BACKGROUND: Conventional pesticide application equipment (PAE) is used to apply entomopathogenic nematode (EPN)- based bioinsecticides, but their closed hydraulic systems could raise the temperature of the spray mixture up to 40 °C, potentially harming EPN, since temperatures above 30 °C can immobilize nematodes, reducing their infective capacity. This study aimed to identify the most suitable method to evaluate EPN viability under the effects of PAE technology.
