ORIGINAL PAPER
Influence of ambient temperature on intensity of entomopathogenic nematodes movement
Journal of Research and Applications in Agricultural Engineering 2010;55(3):37-39
KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
There were made an analyze of a mobility changes of entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema feltiae at ambient temperatures from 4 to 39°C. In order to make estimation of number of moved nematodes a computer program for image analyzes was used. The computer program based on series of a photos of containing nematodes liquid samples. The photos were made by means of a numeric camera mounted on microscope. The values of nematode relative mobility did not differ significantly in the range of temperature from 4 to 30°C and were middle 65,5%. At the temperatures upper than 30°C values of the relative mobility dropped significantly. It was caused by death of nematodes.
