EnglishABSTRACT:

Effects of corn borders, grown as a trap crop for Bactrocera cucurbitae, on
Heliothis zea in tomato were studied, with and without Steinernema(Neoaplectana) carpocapsae (Sc). When Sc was applied directly into the cornear, at 0, 400, 4000 or 40000 IJ/ml water, applied at 10 ml/ear, in the 2nd wkof silking, when H. zea were present in 60-70% of ears, larval mortality wassignificantly higher with 4000 or 40000 IJ/ml than with 400 IJ/ml. In cornborders around tomatoes, plants treated with Sc had 15 times fewer surviving
larvae and 97% less damage than untreated ears. Larval populations and mean
larval damage were significantly higher in untreated ears, and marketable yieldof tomatoes in adjacent plots was 18% lower. Tomato plots without corn borders
consistently yielded higher than those with borders.
ABSTRACT EXTENSION:
In initial tests, on corn grown next to cucumber, application of 400, 4000 and40000 IJ/ml Sc caused 37.3 +/- 1.8, 57.6 +/- 5.4 and 74.5 +/- 17.4% mortalityof H. zea larvae, respectively, within 6 d of application, compared to 7.0 +/7.0% mortality in untreated controls. In corn borders around tomatoes, mean
number of living larvae in Sc-treated corn was 0.03 +/- 0.02/ear, compared to0.45 +/- 0.06/ear in untreated corn, and mean feeding damage was 3.8 +/- 0.25and 0.16 +/-0.02 cm, respectively.
