Abstract
⺠Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) are used to control the large pine weevil. ⺠EPN can infect and reproduce in non-target beetle Rhagium bifasciatum within deadwood. ⺠R. bifasciatum infection in EPN-treated deadwood was lower in field than in lab. ⺠EPN can locally persist in deadwood in the field by recycling in R. bifasciatum. ⺠Overall impact on R. bifasciatum is limited by targeted EPN application.
