Synopsis
This book delves into the 1963 research around using a water-based suspension of Bacillus thuringiensis, a naturally occurring bacteria, as a means for controlling an outbreak of hemlock loopers in Oregon. The research experimented with different application rates and spray distribution methods, assessed larval mortality, and examined potential indirect effects of spraying on larval development and biotic control agents. Exploring both the possibilities and limitations of microbial insecticides in pest management, this book contributes to the ongoing dialogue about alternatives to chemical insecticides and the preservation of forest resources. Its insights are valuable for entomologists, foresters, and anyone interested in sustainable pest management practices.
