Tb129: Chemical Control Of Balsam Gall Midge Paradiplosis Tumifex Gagne (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), R. L. Bradbury, E. A. Osgood

Technical Bulletins

This study was undertaken to test new insecticides for control of the balsam gall midge and to determine effectiveness of later insecticide application in order to expand the effective period for control.


Tb128: Beauveria Bassiana For Control Of Colorado Potato Beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) In Maine, R. H. Storch, J. F. Dill Aug 1987

Tb128: Beauveria Bassiana For Control Of Colorado Potato Beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) In Maine, R. H. Storch, J. F. Dill

Technical Bulletins

Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuill. (Bb), a fungal pathogen of the Colorado potato beetle has been used to control CPB in Europe. Preliminary studies in the United States gave promising results for CPB control by using the fungus. Based on these studies, a three-year pilot program was initiated to evaluate the potential for using Bb o control the Colorado potato beetle in the U.S. We report herein on the results obtained in southern Maine from using this mycoinsecticide to control the beetle.
