NNYADP Persistent Biocontrol Nematodes Project Year Reports

Click on the links below to find information on the use of persistent biocontrol nematodes native to northern New York and the NNYADP year-to-year progressive reports re: 1) the development of the use of persistent biocontrol nematodes native to NY for the management and of alfalfa snout beetle (ASB), berry weevils, corn rootworm and other pests; and 2) the breeding of ASB-resistant alfalfa.
