Soil samples were collected during rabbi and monsoon season from the different locality of Barak Valley especially from crop fields, rubber plantation, pineapple garden, tea gardens and also from rhizospheric soil of bamboo bushes. Nematodes are isolated from rhizospheric soil of Bamboo and from crop field. Only on the basis of morphological characters isolates resembles with the Steinernema sp. Female having prominent vulva, anus, females juvenile bearing before emergence; males having prominent spicule and gubernaculum; juvenile with excretory pore anterior to nerve ring, tail is slightly curved and killed the insects larvae within 48 hours of infection.
