Abstract

Highlights: [•] Efficacy of entomopathogenic nematodes was assessed in apple orchards in WV and MA. [•] Steinernema riobrave caused >95% plum curculio control (average of four trials). [•] Steinernema feltiae caused plum curculio suppression, but at a lower level (77.5%). [•] Irrigation did not impact entomopathogenic nematode efficacy. [•] High potential for incorporation into an integrated management program is indicated. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
