Pin-Chu Lai, Ollie Vetrovec, Ramandeep Sandhi, and Brian Nault recently published an article in the winter issue of Crop Protection. The article, titled “Evaluation of endemic entomopathogenic nematodes for managing Colorado potato beetle and tuber-damaging pests in potato,” discusses findings on efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) as a biocontrol agent for Colorado potato beetle in lab bioassays as well as field studies. Additional pests of potato, wireworms and white grubs, were also studied in the field.
Pin-Chu and Raman are both former postdoctoral associates in the Nault lab and Ollie is a current lab technician who worked with Pin-Chu during their 2022 Summer Scholar project. Read the article here!
