Biocontrol in space!
Tuesday, 10.12.2019 Research & Development
On Thursday, 05 December 2019, nematodes of the species Steinernema feltiae were sent to the International Space Station ISS for a biocontrol research project.
The project aims to gain insights into the influence of gravitation on pheromone production and thus the ability of entomopathogenic nematodes to infect insect pests.
