3.4. Virulence of Steinernema diaprepesi to Euschistus heros on two substrates with two-layer thicknesses Steinernema diaprepesi AM 163 was tested on sand with layers having thicknesses of 1 and 5 cm caused 83% and 80% mortality of E. heros , respectively; levels did not differ from those obtained by its application on the straw

Figure 6. Corrected mortality (%) of Euschistus heros adults (Abbott formula) seven days after their exposition to Steinernema diaprepesi AM163 applied on two substrates with two-layer thicknesses, at the rate of 88.4 IJs/cm² (1000 IJs/insect). Averages followed by the same letter in the column do not differ significantly according to the Tukey test 5%.
