Abstract
The role of entomopathogenic nematodes in biological pest control in agriculture is becoming more and more important. The results on efficiency of entomopathogenic nematodes in insect pests control, refered in literature, are very variable. Insects are, as the most numerous animal class, the most important group of pests in agriculture. Since the demand for food, produced without chemicals for pest control, is increasing, we intend to explore the meaning of this biological agents in pest control in Slovenia, too. In a three-year laboratory research we will establish the most appropriate species of entomopathogenic nematodes (Steinernema feltiae, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, H. megidis, S. carpocapsae) for pest control. In the research the impact of the most important abiotic factors (air temperature, relative humidity, light/dark period) and the impact of number of nematodes in volume unit (ml of water) on their efficiency will be explored. The past (foreign) researches were designed mostly for soil pests control therefore we would like to aim the attention on some foliar pests (thrips, whiteflies, some beetles). By determining optimal values of environmental parameters for the highest efficiency of entomopathogenic nematodes in pest control, we intend to set the ground for more extensive use of these biological agents in Slovenia.
