Double Trouble- S. carpocapsae & S. feltiae nematodes together
Steinernema carpocapsae: Steinernema carpocapsae nematodes generally use "ambush" foraging strategy in which their infective juveniles "sit and wait" for larvae of their insect host to come by and then they attack and infect the larvae that dies within 48 hours. These nematodes are considered as warm adapted and therefore more effective in killing insect pests in the field when temperature is between 20°C and 35°C. Steinernema feltiae: Steinernema feltiae uses intermediate type of foraging strategy that is between ambush and cruise types to find and kill their insect host.Steinernema feltiae nematodes are considered as cold tolerant because they can infect and kill their insect hosts at less than 15°C.
