Although native entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) from South African soils offer potential for sustainable pest control, their efficacy against C. capitata remains poorly understood. This study evaluated two indigenous EPN isolates, Steinernema jeffreyense and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, against larval and pupal stages […]
