Efficiency of Altosid (S-methoprene) liquid larvicide formulated on Biodac (granular carrier) against spring Aedes species in flooded woodlots.
نویسنده
چکیده
Exposure of spring Aedes larvae to Altosid Liquid Larvicide formulated on the granular carrier Biodac under field conditions was evaluated. Both aerial and hand-applied treatments were monitored. Mosquitoes collected from aerially treated sites (9 kg/ha) showed an average 80% mortality. In hand-treated sites excellent control was achieved at label rates of 11.3-14.7 kg/ha (10-13 lb/acre); at dosages less than recommended rates, control was unsatisfactory.

Activity of new formulations of methoprene against midges (Diptera: Chironomidae) in experimental ponds.
The IGR, methoprene, in 3 solid (Altosid Pellet, Altosid XR Briquet and a granular) and a liquid formulation (A.L.L.) was evaluated against chironomid midges in experimental ponds. The A.L.L. was applied at 0.293 liters/ha (0.015 kg AI/ha) and at 5.86 liters/ha (0.28 kg AI/ha). The granules, pellets and briquets were applied at 13 kg/ha (0.17 kg AI/ha), 5.6 kg/ha (0.22 kg AI/ha) and one briquet...
متن کاملTaming a tiger in the city: comparison of motorized backpack applications and source reduction against the Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus.
We evaluated 2 strategies to manage Aedes albopictus: 1) motorized backpack applications and 2) source reduction (coupled with hand-applied applications of larvicide). Backpack applications used a water-dispersible granular formulation (VectoBac WDG) of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti), whereas source reduction used granular formulations of the insect growth regulator methoprene (A...

Effectiveness and residual activity tests of granular formulations of 2 insect growth regulators (IGRs), s-methoprene and pyriproxyfen, against laboratory-reared larvae of 5 colonized mosquitoes, Aedes aegypti, Aedes albopictus, Aedes taeniorhynchus, Anopheles quadrimaculatus, and Culex nigripalpus, were conducted in the laboratory and outdoors in plastic tubs. Culex quinquefasciatus was expose...
متن کاملEfficacy and persistence of Altosid pellets against Culex species in catch basins in Michigan.
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.
