Using Entomopathogenic Nematodes and Conventional and Biorational Pesticides for Controlling Bagworm    (View PDF)

Stanton A. Gill and Michael J. Raupp

Abstract: Formulated microbial biological control agents such as entomopathogenic nematodes and Bacillus thuringiensis have potential as alternatives to conventional control pesticides for arborists offering IPM and Plant Health Care services. However, few data compare the efficacy of these materials with other pesticides under field conditions. This study demonstrates that in some cases microbial biological control agents are effective in controlling bagworms on evergreens.
