Abstract
AbstractThe use of chemical insecticides, especially as ultra low volume (ULV) formulations, against locusts and grasshoppers will continue for the foreseeable future; therefore application techniques for microbial agents should be as compatible as possible with existing practice. Low volume and ULV spraying of deuteromycete conidia in oil-based formulations have produced very promising acridid control results in the field, although baiting, dusting, and hydraulic application techniques have also been tested for a wide range of pathogens.The key problems for further research and development appear to be the logistics and supply of consistently reliable formulations for application on a large scale, and the determination of mechanisms for effective dose transfer in the field. The application of suspended particulate matter can present special problems with rotary and other atomizers.
