Efficacy and persistence of Altosid pellets against Culex species in catch basins in Michigan.
نویسنده
چکیده
Larvae of Culex pipiens and Cx. restuans in catch basins were exposed to Altosid pellets (4% active ingredient, [S]-methoprene) applied at a rate of 11.3 kg/ha (7 g of pellets per catch basin). Under field conditions, the pellets yielded an average 82% emergence inhibition of adult mosquitoes over the 15-wk trial period.

The efficacy of sustained release Altosid sand granules to control adult Aedes taeniorhynchus and Culex quinquefasciatus emergence was investigated. Sand granules applied at a 7-day preflood application rate of 5.6 kg/ha controlled 99% of the Ae. taeniorhynchus emergence in saltwater plots for 44 days posttreatment and 35% of Cx. quinquefasciatus in freshwater plots. A 5.6 kg/ha rate controlled...
