Their management using biological control agents and environmentally friendly biotechnical tools would reduce intensive pesticide use. The entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) in the families Steinernematidae and Heterorhabditidae are well-known virulent agents against arthropod pests thanks to symbiotic bacteria in the genera <i>Xenorhabdus</i> and <i>Photorhabdus</i> (respectively) that produce natural products with insecticidal potential. Novel technological advances allow field applications of EPNs and those bioactive compounds as powerful bio-tools against aerial insect pests. This study aimed to determine the viability of four EPN species (<i>Steinernema feltiae</i>, <i>S. carpocapsae</i>, <i>S. riojaense</i>, and <i>Heterorhabditis bacteriophora</i>) as biological control agents against EGVM larval instars (L1, L3, and L5) and pupae. Additionally, the bioactive compounds from their four symbiotic bacteria (<i>Xenorhabdus bovienii</i>, <i>X. nematophila</i>, <i>X. kozodoii</i>, and <i>Photorhabdus laumondii</i> subsp. <i>laumondii,</i> respectively) were tested as unfiltered ferment (UF) and cell-free supernatant (CFS) against the EGVM larval instars L1 and L3. All of the EPN species showed the capability of killing EGVM during the larval and pupal stages, particularly <i>S. carpocapsae</i> (mortalities of ~50% for L1 and >75% for L3 and L5 in only two days), followed by efficacy by <i>S. feltiae</i>. Similarly, the bacterial bioactive compounds produced higher larval mortality at three days against L1 (>90%) than L3 (~50%), making the application of UF more virulent than the application of CFS. Our findings indicate that both steinernematid species and their symbiotic bacterial bioactive compounds could be considered for a novel agro-technological approach to control <i>L. botrana</i> in vineyards.
