Entomopathogenic nematodes for control of the Asiatic garden beetle in field crops

This handout is designed to educate readers how certain naturally occurring nematodes kill insect pests, and how they can be isolated from the field, mass-reared, and applied back into the field for potential long-term control of Asiatic garden beetle grubs in field crops. Additionally, benefits and disadvantages to using locally isolated nematodes for grub control are discussed.
