Abstract
Concentration-mortality studies with several populations of the Indianmeal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hübner), and the almond moth,Ephestia cautella (Walker), were conducted with Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki Berliner incorporated into a ground wheat diet. Indianmeal moth and almond moth populations differed as much as 6- and 10-fold, respectively, in responses to B. thuringiensis. The differences in both cases appeared to be related, in part, to population vigor. Midgut pH did not relate to population susceptibility in either species.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
