Abstract

Two formulations of methoprene were applied at several dosages rates in 1 or 2 applications per week to asynchronous broods of Culex nigripalpus Theob. In replicated small plot field tests. Two applications per wk of a sand granular formulation at 0.0222 kg AI/ha (0.020 IB AI/a) or 2 applications per wk of water formulation at 0.030 kg AI/a (0.027 Ib AI/a) were required for effective control.
