Abstract:Sustained-release biopolymer based formulations for an indigenous Bacillus sphaericus Neide ISPC-8 strain were developed and evaluated under laboratory conditions. These formulations were assessed for residual activity, response to UV-B radiation and shelf-life. The mosquitocidal activity of tested formulations showed a varied residual activity pattern against Culex quinquefasciatus Say larvae. The residual activity of unformulated spore-crystal suspension drastically decreased after 4 days whereas the formula… Show more
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.
