ABSTRACT:
Methods and materials for inducing anhydrobiosis in entomogenous nematode infective juveniles and then maintaining and storing them in an apparently anhydrobiotic state are described. Infective juveniles are induced into an anhydrobiotic state at relatively high relative humidity prior to optional lowering of the ambient relative humidity for storage and shipment. Suitable containers are also disclosed.
