Main research activities related to EPNs:

  • Dr. R.P. Bateman has specialised in pesticide application for over 25 years, having carried out extensive crop protection work in Asia, Africa and the Americas. He has a particular interest in Controlled Droplet Application techniques and has first hand experience of locust control and pest management of apples, cocoa, cotton, coconuts, maize, sugar cane, rice and vegetables. The overall aim of his work is the alleviation of the more deleterious aspects of using pesticides by improving the specificity, efficiency and timing of their application (rational pesticide use strategies).

Main research activities related to EPNs:

We are interested in all aspects of both slug parasitic and entomopathogenic nematodes. Our research ranges from isolation of new strains of nematodes and bacteria, through production and storage, nematode ecology, modelling nematode behaviour and efficacy and testing in field experiments.

Our lab currently receives money to fund this research from The Forest Research Agency, the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center and the Kintail Land Research Trust.
