1. Adherent starch granules for encapsulation of insect control agents

Author:
McGuire, M.R.; Shasha, B.S.

Subject:
Diabrotica virgifera; biological control; Bacillus thuringiensis; encapsulation; starch granules; adhesion
Abstract:
... Granule carriers for insect control agents have been used for many years, especially for control of soil-borne pests. Granular baits have not been practical for foliar application because they do not stick well and are susceptible to removal by wind or rain. A simple and economic technique to prepare adherent granules has been developed. The granules are made of starch which, when applied to wet s ...

Abstract:
... Uptake and persistence of aldicarb residues were measured in five sequential plantings of 'Florunner' peanut, after in-furrow application of aldicarb (1.12 kg[AI]/ha). Gas chromatography was used to determine total toxic aldicarb residues (aldicarb + aldicarb sulfoxide + aldicarb sulfone) in terminal leafbuds from plant emergence until 10 wk after emergence. Residue concentrations were extremely h ...
