The efficacy of natural and chemical compounds were investigated against wax moth greater, Galleria mellonella L.and lesser, Acheroia gresilla Fab.. Spinosad and Bacillus thuringiensis (Agerin) as natural compounds , while Formic acid, oxalic acid, Phostoxin, and Bara-dichlorobenzen were used as chemical compounds. The mortality percentage of wax moths dead larvae were 99.33, 90, 64 and 56.66 by using Phostoxin, PDB, Formic acid and Oxalic acid , respectively , while these mortality was 79.67 and 74.33 % when using Spinosad and Agiren. Results obtained in this study indicated that, the highly and lowest effecte was Phostoxin and Oxalic acid respectively against larvae of wax moths
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
