Abstract
Liquid culture-produced entomopathogenic nematodes, Heterorhabditis me gidis and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, Mere applied at 0.5 and 1.5 m illion dauer juveniles m(-2) against Aphodius contaminatus and Phyllop ertha horticola on a golf course. The reduction of A. contaminatus was found to be between 40 and 62%. P. horticola reduction reached 70% wi th H. megidis and 83% with H. bacteriophora. Turf damage caused by bir ds preying on the grubs was successfully prevented.
