Efficacy of 'Disfect- S as surface sterilant of silkworm eggs was tested at concentrations of 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1.0% with treatment durations of 1 min, 2 min, 5 min, 10 min and 20 min. The viability and the infectivity of Nosema bombycis spores was inactivated at 0.4% with 5 min. of … Show more
