Abstract
Procedures for rearing larvae of Laspeyresia pomonella (L.) and for bioassaying its granulosis virus were developed and evaluated. In the bioassay technique, a small area of diet was surface-treated to which feeding of the larvae was restricted initially. The LC 50 was 17 granular inclusion bodies/neonate larva/28 mm2 of diet surface. The prohibit regression equation was Y = 3.54 + 1.18 X.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
