Using Beneficial Nematodes to Control Pest Mole Crickets

Entomologists Norm Leppla and and Howard Frank discuss beneficial nematodes that were released to control pest mole crickets. University researchers brought the nematode from South America, the native home of pest mole crickets. Ranchers now can obtain and apply the beneficial nematodes to their land. Pest mole crickets can devastate pasture lands and cause problems for Florida ranchers. Produced by UF/IFAS Information and Communication Services.
