Abstract
Rice fields provide excellent habitat for several species of mosquitos, including the vectors of encephalitis and malaria. The use of biological controls can cut resource requirements and cost of mosquito control considerably. An integrated larval control program is desirable for most rice fields; rice growers may need to assume a greater burden for financing such a program.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
