METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INSECT PEST WITH ALGINATE MICROBEAD ENCAPSULATING BACTERIUM HAVING DEFOLIATOR PEST-SUPPRESSING EFFECT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To develop a new defoliator pest control means. SOLUTION: Alginate microbeads are characterized by encapsulating a bacterium having a defoliator pest-suppressing effect. Further, alginate microbeads are characterized by encapsulating the bacterium having the defoliator pest-suppressing effect and a bacteriophage capable of infecting the bacterium. A method for controlling the insect pests with the alginate microbeads. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
