Abstract

See full text

Entomogenous nematodes can be used as biological insecticides for the control of certain pests. The present invention provides a large-scale production in liquid culture of these entomogenous nematodes using an improved liquid culture medium. The medium uses an emulsifier to provide a well homogenized growth medium. The invention also provides a method of cultivating entomogenous nematodes on a commercial scale, in liquid culture, in fermenters by controlling the agitation rate as a function of oxygen demand.
