We evaluated the virulence of 9 species/strains of entomopathogenic nematode against D. abbreviatus in a high clay content soil typical of fruit growing regions of Puerto Rico. All nematode species and nematode strains provided significant mean mortality as compared to a water control. Strains of Steinernema riobrave performed particularly well, with some strains resulting in 100% mortality. These laboratory and field tests indicate that some species/strains of entomopathogenic nematodes may be suitable for the control of D. abbreviatus in Puerto Rican soils of high clay content.
