Abstract
The prepupal stage of Spodoptera littoralis was affected by Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki HD-1 (Dipel) at high concentration (5%), when sprayed or kept in soil treated with the pathogen. The emerged moths showed a short longevity associated with low egg production and low fertility. Increase in malformed individuals was observed. Treatment of the pupae of S. littoralis with B. thuringiensis during different ages showed an increased effect when treatment was applied, immediately after pupation.
