Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A composition and methods of using the composition for the control of mollusks are provided, which include an effective amount of one or more isolated Phasmarhabditis nematodes, wherein at least one of the isolated nematodes is P. californica, P. papillosa or P. hermaphrodita, and wherein the P. hermaphrodita does not comprise Moraxella osloensis.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for inhibiting or treating a mollusk infestation in soil comprising applying to the soil an effective amount of a composition comprising one or more isolated Phasmarhabditis nematodes that have been cultured with a nematode growth promoting bacterium, and a suitable carrier or encapsulation agent, wherein at least one of the isolated nematodes is Phasmarhabditis californica , and wherein the growth-promoting bacterium comprises Alcaligenes faecalis, Bacillus safensis , or Ochrobactrum sp. 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the mollusk is C. aspersum, D. reticulatum, L. flavus, L. valentiana or L. fulica. 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition is applied before soil cultivating, preplant, or during planting. 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition further includes P. hermaphrodita, P. neopapillosa or P. papillosa. 5. The method of claim 1 wherein therein the growth-promoting bacterium comprises Alcaligenes faecalis , or Ochrobactrum sp. 6. The method of claim 1 wherein the carrier comprises clay. 7. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition is in the form of a water-dispersable powder. 8. The method of claim 1 wherein the carrier is calcium montmorillonite clay, and the nematode concentration is from about 0.1×10 6 to about 2.0×10 6 per gram of total composition (wet weight). 9. The method of claim 8 wherein the nematode concentration is from about 0.3×10 6 to about 1.6×10 6 per gram of the total composition (wet weight). 10. The method of claim 1 wherein the composition further comprises P. hermaphrodita but does not comprise Moraxella osloensis. 11. The method of claim 1 wherein the effective amount treat the infestation.
