- Nematodes need temperatures at 12°C and higher to be in an active state. If temperatures are temporarily decreasing they get into an inaktiv mode.
- What exactly are they eating?
- How do they live?

- Do they leave tunnel marks?
- Do they leave any visible marks?

RESEARCH
- "Results showed that modified Wouts medium and nutrient agar medium-I multiplied significantly higher numbers of 39.02 - 39.14 lakh IJs of H.. bacteriophora strain KKMH1 per 250 ml flask." [1]
