Infectivity of Heterorhabditis indica (NBAII Hi 01) and Steinernema abbasi (NBAII
Sa 01) were tested against larvae and pupae of the shoot borer, C. punctiferalis and their multiplica tion in the hosts was assessed. Both species of tested EPNs were found pathogenic against shoot borer
larvae and it brought about cent per cent mortality within 72 h. However, H. indica (NBAII Hi 01)
was the most virulent isolate against the shoot borer pupae, causing 33% mortality, followed by 17%
mortality by S. abbasi (NBAII Sa 01). In case of multiplication of IJs, both EPNs multiplied on the
tested insect, but the level of multiplication varied significantly. Maximum number (18,277 IJs/ ca daver) of infective juveniles of S. abbasi (NBAII Sa 01), whereas the lesser number juveniles (5,135
IJs/ cadaver) of H. indica (NBAII Hi 01) multiplied on shoot borer larva. The infectivity of the above
EPNs against shoot borer opens up a new hope of utilizing them in insect pest management in ginger.
