Abstract
A simple, rapid method was developed for uniformly mixing antibiotic phytochemicals into diet for bioassay with lepidopterous larvae. Uniform mixture was obtained. The time required to work up a bioassay of one sample in 10 replicates was 15–20 min; however, total biological time for the bioassay was from 10–14 days.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
