Interaction between entomopathogenic nematodes and entomopathogenic fungi in biocontrol mechanism

Abstract

Entomopathogenic nematodes are the most important biocontrol agents for the management of insect pest population which can be utilized as a tool in integrated pest management programme. Therefore interaction with other biocontrol agent specially entomopathogenic fungi reflects the success or failure of biocontrol mechanism. This review focuses on different types of interaction of entomopathogenic nematodes with entompathogenic fungi.
