Abstract:
The effect of Li, Al, Cd, Cu(II), Mn(II), Pb(II), Se(IV) and Zn on S. carpocapsae and H. bacteriophora mortality, pathogenicity and productivity was studied under laboratory conditions. These ions were administered as the sole ions as well as in the Li-Al, Li-Cd, Li-Cu(II), Li-Mn(II), Li-Pb(II), Li-Se(IV) and Li-Zn pairs. Lithium as the sole acting ion exhibited a weak lethal effect on the nematodes. In combination with other metal ions under study, lithium inhibited their harmful effects |
