Effect of the biotic insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis on predators of Chrysophtharta bimaculata: A comment
Journal of the Australian Entomological Society 34 (2), 97-98
Abstract: The authors criticize the article 'Greener, A. and Candy, S. G. (1994). Effect of the biotic insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis and a pyrethroid on survival of predators of Chrysophtharta bimaculata (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae). J. Aust. ent. Soc. 33: 321-324', and are concerned that the conclusion in that article might inhibit the development of Bacillus thuringiensis.
