Unravelling the efficacy and reproductive potential of newly discovered entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema indicum and Steinernema shori against Spodoptera frugiperda in maize
The present study highlights the potential of S. shori as a biological control agent against the larval and pupal stages of S. frugiperda and evaluates its efficacy against other economically important insect pests and under diverse environmental conditions to support its wider field application.
