Hi Keith,

If this topic is of interest to you for your rootworm issues, there are several ways to review this technology.

A recent discussion on Ag Talk on about Page 2 titled "  Biological Control of Rootworm - a link to a recent presentation.

Lots of discussion and this technology was developed when I was at Cornell. I retired in 2022.  Down about 37 comments is a large dairy in Central NY who as applied biocontrol nematodes to all their land.  They had a real issue with trait failure.

In Iowa alone, there have been 34,000 acres inoculated in the past 3 years alone

Here is a direct link to a recent presentation with all the data -  https://youtu.be/gR46tJKIEIs

If you want to dive deeper, use the search words in Ag Talk "Biocontrol Nematodes" and a number of discussions will come up.

If you have questions, feel free to give me a call or send me an email.
