Steinernema diaprepesi AM 163 was significantly more virulent to E. heros than to D. melacanthus ( Figure 7 ), causing 69.1% and 28.8% mortality of adults, respectively,

seven days after its application (T test; t = 3.5162; d.f.=

9.4968; p = 0.006). 3.6. Comparative virulence of S. diaprepesi and S.
