Abstract
Soil samples from 79 sites on five islands of Indonesia were baited with insects
for the recovery of entomopathogenic nematodes. Heterorhabditis and
Steinernema were equally prevalent, and were recovered from 11.7% of samples
representing 20.3% of sites sampled. Both genera were recovered from coastal
sites only. Entomopathogenic nematodes were more prevalent on the Moluccan
islands of Ambon and Seram than on Java or Bali. They were not detected on
Sulawesi, where non-coastal sites only were sampled. RFLP analysis was used in
the identification of nematode isolates. Heterorhabditis indica was the only
heterorhabditid identified. Two RFLP types of Steinernema were identified.
