Abstract

The effects of sixteen metal ions: Al, Cd, Co(II), Cr(III), Cr(VI), Cu(II), Fe(III), Li, Mg, Mn(H), Mo(VI), Ni(II), Pb(II), Se(IV), V(V), and Zn on the mortality and infectivity of Steinernema carpocapsae were observed in 96 hour laboratory tests. All ions except Cu(II), Pb(II), and Zn even at naturally unrealistic concentrations did not cause the mortality of S. carpocapsae. However, such treatment lowered infectivity of nematodes with respect to wax moth caterpillars, Galleria mellonella.
