Abstract

Laboratory studies were conducted to determine 'Me effects of five preparations 01 13aci7!os thurin9iensi.5 (Si) on leaf miner pupae. Bt formulated as Bactospeine was the most effective (LCSO value 6.2 x 10^r IU/L) on the pest followed by Dipel, while tnuricide 64LV was line least potent as it showed the highest LC50 value (99_5 x 10⁷ Mil), These results suggest a usefuf role of 81 formulations Bactospeine and Dipel in control measures against leaf miner on vegetable crops.
