Application of nematodes in infected insect cadavers have also been described by some workers (Shapiro-Ilan et al. 2001, 2003), which enables the slow release of nematode and therefore considered effective for small-scale application. Coating the cadavers with starch and clay mixture helps in preventing rupture during storage and shipping (Shapiro-Ilan et al. 2001).
