| Sumario: | A technique is described that allows rapid detection of the presence of infesting larvae of entomophagous nematodes in soil. This technique is the result of the conjugation of classical procedures in the extraction of nematodes from soil and the production of entomophages in the laboratory. The auxiliary host used is G. mellonelia. The totality of the results are obtained on the fourth day after the beginning of the experiment, having on the second day more than 50% of the information. The described technique is compared with that devised by Bedding and Akhurst using soil artificially infested with N. carpocapsae in known concentrations. |
