Laboratory and field tests show effective biological control of larvae in urban settings, suggesting new pest management strategies.
This study demonstrates that S. carpocapsae is an effective biological control agent against S. insularis larvae under both laboratory and field conditions. These findings highlight the potential of EPN trunk injections as a practical, residue-free approach for managing cryptic wood-boring pests in urban and amenity landscapes.
