[The effects of Bacillus thuringiensis on the greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella (L.) (Lepidoptera: Galleriidae)].
The effects of Bacillus thuringiensis preparation on the greater wax moth population have been investigated under laboratory conditions. B. thuringiensis isolated from commercial insecticidal formulations such as DIPELr (Abbott Lab. USA), Tribactur BTB WP (Fabrick von Chemische Production, Holland), Bactospein (Laboratoire Roger, France). The effective strain was used in this experiment. The applied concentrations of Bacillus on the greater wax moth larvae are 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 gram, respectively. It has been observed that 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 gram dosages of bacteria has been effective on larvae population. Our studies indicated that young larvae are much more susceptible to lower concentrations, 0.5, 1.0 gram, of Bacillus.
