Abstract
Populations of redheaded pine sawfly, Neodiprion lecontei (Fitch), larvae in Michigan and Wisconsin were treated by mistblower with high and low doses of Lecontvirus, a nucleopolyhedrosis virus product. In both states, a dose rate of 5.0 × 109 polyhedral inclusion bodies (PIB) per hectare virtually eliminated larval populations in 2 weeks. In Wisconsin, the low dose (1.0 × 109 PIB per hectare) reduced the larval population by >96% 31 days after treatment, although foliage protection was significantly lower than that provided by high-dose treatments.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
