Abstract
Following evaluation of methods that could be utilized in the dissemination of fungi pathogenic to the spotted alfalfa aphid, Therioaphis maculata, a program was developed to produce Entomophthora exitialis, E. virulenta and E. oronata, on selected media in small sealed containers for shipment to counties within the State of California requesting fungi. During 1956, a total of 1754 culture units were sent to nine counties in the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys for placement in field plots.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
