ABSTRACT:
An isolated Steinernematid nematode of the speciesSteinernema scarabaei(ATCC accession No. PTA-6988 is provided which is entomopathogenic to the larvae of scarab beetles, e.g., Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica), oriental beetles (Exomala(=Anomala)orientalis), European chafer (Rhizotrogus majalis), Asiatic garden beetle (Maladera castanea), masked chafers (Cyclocephalaspp.), and May/June beetles (Phyllophagaspp.). A biopesticide composition is provided which comprises an insecticidally effective amount ofSteinernema scarabaei.Biopesticide compositions are described which, in addition toSteinernema scarabaei,further comprise at least one neonicotinoid insecticide, e.g., imidacloprid. Methods are provided for controlling the larvae of at least one species of scarab beetle comprising applying a biopesticide composition to the locus of the larvae wherein the composition comprises an insecticidally effective amount of an isolated entomopathogenic nematode of the speciesSteinernema scarabaei (ATCC accession No. PTA-6988).
