Abstract
Exposing A. ipsilon larvae to S. carpocapsae nematode after 24 h of pa rasitism by M. rubens resulted in preventing the emergence of M. ruben s from host larvae, especially at concentrations of 15 Infective Juven ile Stage (IJS) and more. The effect of S. carpocapsae decreased when exposure was delayed to 7 and 12 days after parasitism by M. rubens. T he survival of A. ipsilon larvae was shorter when exposure to IJS was delayed from 24 h to 7 and 12 days.
