Studies of microörganisms pathogenic to the sod webworm

Irvin M. Hall

Hilgardia, 1954, vol. 22, issue 15

Abstract: Four microörganisms—a spore-forming bacterium, two strains of a fungus, and a microsporidian—were tested as biological agents for the control of the sod webworm, Crambus bonifatellus (Hulst). Results of laboratory and greenhouse tests, or, with the microsporidian, very limited field tests, indicate that the bacterium is the most promising of these. Further tests under natural conditions are necessary to establish their practical value.
