Remarks Nematodes removed from pupae's abdomen. Chad Nielson is suspicious of the soil as the potential point source for the nematodes. The soil was very dry prior to set up for corn growth and larval rearing. The soil was air dried at room temperature for approximately 3 months prior to rearing use.
