Use of 24-welI tissue culture plates for testing infectivity was found not suitable. Sand barrier method revealed that only &lt;em&gt;H. indica&lt;/em&gt; (isolate II) was promising in causing significant mortality of larvae of &lt;em&gt;M. sandhui&lt;/em&gt; at nematode inoculum levels of 300 IJs and above per five larvae.}, number={2}, journal={Journal of Biological Control}, author={Lamba, J.
