title: [The effect of mineral fertilizers on mosquito larvae (Culicidae)].
abstract: The effect of superphosphate, nitrophoska and ammophos on larvae of Culicidae was studied under laboratory and field conditions of Novgorod Province. Superphosphate better than other fertilizers acidifies water, while nitrophoska and ammophos increase the ammonia contents of 27 to 240 fold that affects lethally the larvae. 0.4-0.5% and 1% concentrations of mineral fertilizers are a lethal dose for I-II instar and III-IV instar larvae, respectively.
