Pathogenicity of Steinernematid Nematodes on the Sweet Potato Weevil, Cylas formicarius (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Brentidae) and Their Feasibility for Suppression of the Weevil Population

We evaluated entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernematidae) as potential biocontrol agents to suppress the wild population of the sweet potato weevil, Cylas formicarius (Fabricius) as part of its eradication program. The pathogenicity of Steinernema carpocapsae (‘All’ strain), S. feltiae, S. riobrave...
