Fungal contaminations in entomopathogenic nematode formulations

Fungal contaminations in entomopathogenic nematode formulations

Samenvatting

Fungal contaminations cause problems in different industries worldwide. One of these is the production of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) which are used as biological pesticides. How these contaminations occur is often unclear. Because the production and formulation process is done partly in the open air, it is hypothesized that the contaminations are airborne. To study this possibility research was done at one of the largest biocontrol companies in the world, Koppert Biological Systems. Koppert offered an excellent testing location because they produce bacteria and fungi in the same room as the EPNs. These microorganisms affect the microbial air load, making the effect of air contaminations easier to measure. Two different nematode species were researched, the Steinernema feltiae and the Steinernema carpocapsae.
