The arrow indicates the cadaver of A. ipsilon larvae. (c) Control–maize seedlings without nematode capsules or nematode suspension. The arrow indicates the young stem of maize seedlings chewed by A. ipsilon larvae. B Mortality of 4th instar larvae of A. ipsilon infected by Capsule-C and nematodes suspension. Bars represent mean percentage ± SE. Different letters above bars indicate significant difference among different treatments (p < 0.05, Tukey’s test)
