Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out on “Biocontrol Potential Of Entomopathogenic Nematodes Against Greater Wax Moth Galleria Mellonella”, under Post Graduate Laboratory, Entomology Section, College of Agriculture, Nagpur, during 2020-2021, with the aim to evaluate the effectiveness, pathogenicity and multiplication potential of Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) against Galleria mellonella. Heterorhabditis indica (CICR-Guava), Steinernema bicornatum (CICR-W) and Steinernema siamkayai (SAM 4) EPN strains were used in experiment for the study of biocontrol potential. The results of this investigation explored that, Heterorhabditis indica (CICR-Guava) was most pathogenic than other EPNs.
