Abstract:
This laboratory is designed to provide hands on experience to workshop participants on the life history, behavior, quality assessment, and effects of biotic and abiotic factors on the survival of insecticidal nematodes. Demonstrations will include nematode life stages, signs and symptoms of infection, infective juvenile morphology, behavior, physiological requirements during storage and handling, and sensitivity to environmental extremes. Exercises will include estimation of the quality and quantity of nematodes in formulations, and evaluations of infectivity. Participants will also examine commercial formulations, products, and labels |
