title: Efficiency of Altosid (S-methoprene) liquid larvicide formulated on Biodac (granular carrier) against spring Aedes species in flooded woodlots.
abstract: Exposure of spring Aedes larvae to Altosid Liquid Larvicide formulated on the granular carrier Biodac under field conditions was evaluated. Both aerial and hand-applied treatments were monitored. Mosquitoes collected from aerially treated sites (9 kg/ha) showed an average 80% mortality. In hand-treated sites excellent control was achieved at label rates of 11.3-14.7 kg/ha (10-13 lb/acre); at dosages less than recommended rates, control was unsatisfactory.
