title: [Efficient and permanent impact of two insecticides with the active ingredient, temephos, on mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) larvae.].
abstract: The efficiency of two insecticides with the active ingredient, temephos (Tambro(R) 500 EC and Ekolarv(R) 500 EC), in laboratory and field conditions on Anopheles sacharovi Favre, and Culex pipiens (Linnaeus) larvae has been determined. Under laboratory conditions, it has been determined that both species are sensitive to insecticides. Under field conditions, 100% of larval mortality has been found even with the lowest (0.05 l/ha) of insecticide doses. It has been found that there was no difference in permanence of the effect of insecticides and their doses (p > 0.05). It has been found that insecticides used in mosquito control which contain the active ingredient temephos have to be used for a 20 day period under central Anatolia conditions.
