• Strawberry (Fragaria spp.)/ UK/ beneficial nematodes (Heterorhabditis bacteriophora)/vine weevil (Otiorynchus sulcatus)
• Most effective control of cryptic vine weevil larvae, damaging strawberry roots, thereby addressing consumers demand for healthy food

• Technical result: 70-98% mortality of pest larvae due to efficient searching of nematodes for cryptic root pest
• Economic result: recovery of yield loss and enabling growers to provide high value niche market
• Sustainability (ecological, social and economical) Gains:

• • Increased biodiversity enabling resilient vine cropping systems
  • Reduction in chemical pesticides
  • Enables regenerative land use practices

• • Enables worker health and safety
  • Promotes quality nutritious strawberry production

• • Supports farmers’ livelihood and value distribution
  • Improvement of financial viability
