Jeffrey C. Miller and Kenneth J. West
Abstract: The insecticides Bacillus thuringlensis (Bt) and diflubenzuron (DFB) were tested for the effect of killing second instar gypsy moth larvae on foliage of Douglas-fir and Oregon white oak. Larval mortality differed significantly between the insecticides and check treatments. No significant differences in larval mortality were observed after one treatment of Bt or DFB, or after two treatments of Bt. No significant differences were noted between larval mortality on the foliage of either host plant. Effects of the insecticides were apparent 64 days post-application for all treatments.
