Abstract
The effect of different concentrations (1500, 500, 200, 40, and 20 ppm.) of silver nanoparticles on mortality of entomopathogenic nematodes Heterorhabditis indica, Steinernema arenarium and Steinernema abbasi for (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 days) was studied. And the effect on and pathogenic properties of EPNs on Galleria mellonella was also studied. It was found that, mortality percentage of EPNs depended on nano-Ag. concentrations and the exposure time. There was a slight effect on pathogenicity while there was a significant effect on EPNs reproductivity with the two concentrations (500, and 1500 ppm.).
