Factors affecting efficacy of Bacillus thuringiensis H-14 against mosquito larvae with special reference to the joint action of the pathogen with three chemical insecticides

Abstract: In laboratory trials with the pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis H-14 (B. t. H-14) against culicine larvae of Culex pipiens L. and Aedes aegypti (L.), the following factors significantly influenced larvicidal activity: larval instars, mosquito species, exposure time and temperature. Variation in water pH, however, did not significantly affected efficacy.
Different levels of potentiation and additive effects were also obtained when the bacterial agent B. t. H-14 applied jointly with the chemical insecticides malathion, dursban and fenvalerate against mosquito larvae.
