Method for controlling fungal pathogen with bacterial metabolite

Disclosed is a taping apparatus for packaging arthropods having been infected with entomopathogenic nematodes wherein the tape forms a continuous line of packaged arthropods. In one embodiment of the invention, the tape formulation has the arthropods, orinfected with the nematodes ofor

Apparatus for packaging arthropods infected with entomopathogenic nematodes

Pesticidal and/or antimicrobial biological agent-infected hard-bodied arthropod cadavers, such as from the family Tenebrionidae are used to control pest and/or microbial infestations in agriculture, commercial and urban environments.

Application of entomopathogenic nematode-infected cadavars from hard-bodied arthropods for insect suppression

A biopesticidal composition for controlling insects (e.g., pecan weevils, theroot weevil, fall armyworm, fire ants), containing an agriculturally acceptable carrier and an effective insect (e.g., pecan weevils, theroot weevil, fall armyworm, fire ants) biopesticidal amount of a fungus selected from the group consisting ofhaving the identifying characteristics ofNRRL 30593,having the identifying characteristics ofNRRL 30594,having the identifying characteristics ofNRRL 30601,having the identifying characteristics ofNRRL 30600, or mixtures thereof. Also, a method for controlling insects (e.g., pecan weevils, theroot weevil, fall armyworm, fire ants), involving applying an effective insect biopesticidal amount of the composition to the insects or to the plants, areas or substrates infested with the insects.
