| Abstract | Survival of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in soils is attributed to their entering a dormant state—anhydrobiosis—as soil moisture decreases, but EPNs with poor desiccation tolerance and low anhydrobiotic capabilities may practice desiccation avoidance. We compared the effect of soil moisture gradient on downward movement of the highly desiccation-tolerant Steinernema carpocapsae and the poorly desiccation-tolerant Heterorhabditis bacteriophora. Infective juveniles (IJs) were applied to the surface of moist (11–13% w/w moisture) sandy soil in buckets. Nematode distribution was monitored at different depths 3, 14 and 28 days after application. In uncovered buckets, soil moisture decreased to 1% in the upper 5-cm layer after 28 days. H. bacteriophora IJs abandoned the upper soil layers as dryness intensified with >80% found in the bottom (20–25 cm) layer. In contrast, >70% S. carpocapsae IJs remained in the upper layer. In covered buckets, with 10% moisture throughout the experiment, heterorhabditid IJs were equally distributed between the 10–15 cm and 20–25 cm layers; only 7% remained in the upper layer. Again, >70% S. carpocapsae IJs remained in the upper layer throughout. Soil type influenced H. bacteriophora IJs' downward migration. In sandy and sandy loam soils, with rapid evaporation, >80% IJs were in the bottom layer 14 and 28 days after application. In the loam soil, with higher moisture retention, >75% IJs remained in the 10–15 cm layer and <20% migrated to the bottom. Results provide initial evidence of a possible stress-avoidance strategy in H. bacteriophora under natural conditions. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
