Abstract
The biological control potential of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) can be enhanced by improved culture efficiency. Optimization of media is a key factor for improving in vitro mass production of entomopathogenic nematodes. EPN yield was dependant of complex medium concentration, of which mixture is carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, salts, and growth factors, on the growth of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora and its symbiotic bacterium Photorhabdus luminescensLipids.
