Abstract
Tests of application of a polyhedrosis virus against Malacosoma fragile by aircraft are reported. High mortality can be achieved but may be reduced or retarded by low dosages and low field temperatures. Practical use of the virus will depend on methods of obtaining it in large volume.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
