Figure 1:

The impact of varying concentration of Alltech ACS 5075 on viability of EPN species in vitro (A) S. feltiae (SB 12(1)), (B) S. feltiae (e-nema), (C) S. carpocapsae, (D) H. bacteriophora survival. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA with significant difference compared to the control (n = 10). Values represented by similar letters are not significantly different from each other (p ≤ 0.05).
