Seventeen entomopathogenic nematode species and strains were evaluated for virulence to the grape root borer, Vitacea polistiformis (Harris) in laboratory and greenhouse bioassays. Heterohabditis bacteriophora strain GPS11 and H. zealandica strain X1 produced a larval mortality rate of over 85% of larvae embedded in the root cambium in laboratory bioassays. The nematode species H. marelata and H. bacteriophora strain Oswego produced mortality rates of over 75%. Of the Steinernema species tested, S. carpocapsae strain 'All' performed the best with a mortality rate of 69%. All other nematode species and strains tested, with the exception of S. bicornutum , produced some degree of larval mortality. In the greenhouse bioassays, 93% control was achieved with H. zealandica strain X1 applied at 4 ×109 infective juveniles (IJs) acre1 -1 (9.88 ×10 9 IJs ha -1 ). H. bacteriophora strain GPS11 successfully reproduced in grape root borer larvae. The numbers of IJs produced within infected larvae were related to larval size. The survival rate of neonate larvae on grape root sections was 61%, which thus provides a means to rear the neonate larvae for bioassays. |
