Field evaluation of the microbial insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis serotype H-14 against floodwater mosquitoes

Field evaluation of the microbial insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis serotype H-14 against floodwater mosquitoes.

Four experimental formulations of the microbial insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (serotype H-14) were evaluated in the field against larvae of the floodwater mosquitoes Aedes nigromaculis and Psorophora columbiae with ground and aerial application methods. The formulations included ABG-6108D (Abbott Laboratories, North Chicago, Ill.), a wettable powder containing about 400 IU...

Efficacy and field evaluation of Bacillus thuringiensis (H-14) and B. sphaericus against floodwater mosquitoes in California.

The microbial control agents Bacillus thuringiensis (H-14) and B. sphaericus were evaluated in laboratory and field against Psorophora columbiae. Bacillus sphaericus strain 2362 was also tested in the field against Aedes melanimon. Psorophora columbiae was slightly more susceptible than Culex quinquefasciatus to active strains of B. sphaericus. The LC90 for active strains ranged from 0.013 to 0...
