Caballero P. | Vargas Osuna E. | Santiago Alvarez C.
The efficacy of a granulosis virus isolated in Spain from Agrotis segetum larvae (AsGV) was field tested and compared with chlorpyrifos and flucythrinate as control agents against A. segetum larvae on corn seedlings. The application of the AsGV through bran wheat bait provided a crop protection similar to that produced by chlorpyrifos and flucythrinate. Significant differences were not found between the levels of protection provided by AsGV when it was applied at a rate of 4.1 x 10(12) IB/ha or 4.1 x 10(13) IB/ha.
