Abstract

The larvicide activity of the experimental preparation SAN 402 I WDC containing B. Thuringiensis var. Israelensis and that of Abate 500 E (44 % temephos) were tested on the larvae of Aedes aegypti. The studies were performed on the following media : distilled water, pure and buffered at pH 9, 7 and 4 and pond water whether or not free from materials in suspension. The activity of both preparations is not influenced by the composition of the media, exception made for the presence of materials in suspension. The persistance varies according to the kind of the media and the concentration level. It is in general rather low. Both preparations behave rather similar, the microbial insecticide however is more influenced by the presence of materials in. suspension.

L'activité larvicide de la préparation expérimentale SAN 402 I WDC à base de B. Thuringiensis var. israelensis et de celle de 1'Abate 500 E (44 % de téméphos) ont été mesurées sur des larves de Aedes aegypti. Les milieux utilisés sont l'eau distillée pure ou tamponnée à pH 9, 7 ou 4 et des eaux naturelles avec ou sans sédiments. L'activité des deux préparations n'est pas influencée par la composition du milieu, hormis la présence de sédiments. La persistance est variable suivant la nature du milieu et la concentration : elle est, en général relativement faible. Les deux préparations ont un comportement très comparable mais l'insecticide microbien est plus sensible à la présence de sédiments.
