Abstract :
Halyomorpha halys, also known as the brown
marmorated stink bug (BMSB), or simply the stink bug,
is a serious agricultural pest that has been readily causing
damage to crops across the west and eastern Georgia. The
brown marmorated stink bug is an agricultural pest that
can cause widespread damage to fruit and vegetable
crops. They feed on a wide array of plants including
apples, apricots, Asian pears, cherries, corn, grapes, lima
beans, peaches, peppers, tomatoes, and soybeans. This
makes them extremely versatile as they do not require a
specific plant to feed on. Species of the entomopathogenic
nematodes, Steinernema carpocapsae isolate "Zi"
(Germany) and strain Steinernema carpocapsae (Israel)
were studied against Halyomorpha halys (Stink bug).
Under laboratory conditions, by using different nematode
strains 500 juveniles IJ/ml of S.carpocapsae isolate
"Zi"(Germany) and strain S. carpocapsae (Israel) were
used separately and in combination against H. halys
(Stink bug). In both strains were used water for control.
In the results of investigation to shown that high effect
of all treatments of pests such as, 4th and 5th instar
larvae of H.halys (Stink bug) were recorded on the 7th
day, after treatments with S.carpocapsae isolate Zi
(Germany) and S.carpocapsae (Israel) in combination.
