Abstract
Liquid Bacillus thuringiensis H- 14 (Acrobe(TM)) was applied from fixe d-wing aircraft at a rate of 4.68 liters of water-insecticide mixture (1.17 liter concentrate) per hectare to woodland Pools in Michigan. A post-treatment larval survey indicated an 88.5% reduction in Aedes spe cies larvae. A volume median diameter of 208 microns was determined.
