Abstract
Granular and foam formulations of Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner var. kurstaki applied to field corn were more effective in controlling Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) than a spray formulation. On the basis of assays of corn foliage, the granular and foam formulations also were superior to the spray in persistence and efficacy.Keywords
