Abstract:Stilbene‐based fluorescent brighteners (FBs) have been demonstrated to improve the insecticidal activities of entomopathogenic viruses; however, there is limited information regarding their effect on entomopathogenic bacteria. We conducted this study to investigate the effect of two FBs (FB 28 and FB 71) on the insecticidal activities of Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (Btk) and Lymantria dispar multiple nuclear polyhedrosis virus (LdMNPV) on Lymantria dispar asiatica. FB 28 and Btk combination at low con… Show more
