| Summary: | The effect of three Insecf Growth
Regulators (Diflubenzuron, Methoprene and
Btf) was studied on the eggs, fourth stage
larvae and pupae of Culex tritaeniorhyncus.
The LCso of the insecticides was minimum
when applied against 4"' stage larvae than on
eggs or pupae. Methoprene had the least LCso
followed by diflubenzuron. High concentrations
of Bti were required to produce the desired
effect. When maximum retail price was
considered, diflubenzuron was the best
followed by methoprene. Bti was most
expensive. |
