The results of previous research on entomopathogenic nematodes activity against harmful
Coleopteran species are presented in the paper. These results showed that the nematodes in
question can be an efficient biological control agents against the Scarabaeidae,
Curculionidae, Chrysomelidae and Silvanidae species. The aim of this paper is to prove the
fact that also in Slovenia entomopathogenic nematodes have all possibilities to become an
important biological agents as a substitute for insecticides which use in controlling harmful
Coleopteran species still prevails in the country.
