Double Trouble- S. feltiae & H. bacteriophora nematodes together
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. Heterorhabditis bacteriophora: Heterorhabditis bacteriophora nematodes use cruising type of foraging strategy in which the infective juveniles of this nematode constantly move actively in the soil profile to find both pupae and larvae their insect hosts. 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 29°C.
