Abstract

Insecticidal nematodes or entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the genera Heterorhabditis and Steinernema are lethal obligate parasites of insect pests. These nematodes carry specific pathogenic bacteria which are released into the insect hemocoel after penetration of the insect host. The economic importance of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) is increasing as the nematodes are amenable for mass production, formulation, handling and application on a large scale and is currently marketed worldwide for use. The objective of the review is to discuss the principles of formulation and quality control, latest development and future perspectives of the EPNs formulation for the successful use of EPNs as bio insecticides.
