Abstract
The study was aimed at determing the occurrence of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in different agroecosystems and their potential as biocontrol agents in the management of DBM. Soil samples were taken from a plant forest, pasure, a coffee field and a vegetable garden. EPNs were isolated from the soil using Galleria mellonella as the bait insect.
