Abstract

The effect of several passages through a centrifugal pump on the viability and activity of Steinernema corpocapsoe was investigated. A tendency of reduced viability was detected after 10 passages through the centrifugal pump, but the difference was not statistically significant. Activity decreased significantly from 91.9% to 83.6%. The experimental set-up was chosen to eliminate temperature increase. Therefore, the results prove that mechanical pump damage cannot be excluded as the cause of EPN damage during spray application.
