Abstract

Gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar L., populations in six northern Virginia plots were aerially treated with the nucleopolyhedrosis virus product, Gypchek. Two applications of an aqueous Orzan LS-Pro Mo-Rhoplex B60A tank mix, each at 18.7 liters and 1.25 × 1012 polyhedral inclusion bodies per ha, reduced larvae by more than 92% and egg masses by more than 94% in all but one of the treated plots. Defoliation averaged 22% in Gypchek-treated plots compared to 67% in control plots.
