Abstract :Under the field conditions of the Gölbaşı district of Ankara, commercial preparations of VectoBac® 12 AS insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(aqueous suspension); and VectoBac® G insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(corn cob formulation);, both based on Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(H-14);, were tested against Anopheles sacharovi, An. maculipennis, Culex pipiens, and Cx. theileri larvae at the edge of a lake, a flood plain, and a swamp. Applying VectoBac® 12 AS at the rate of 1.0-1.25 l/ha and VectoBac® G at 7.5-10.0 kg/ha produced excellent initial control insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(90%-100%); of all mosquito larvae under Central Anatolian conditions. An increase in larval mortality was detected in all treatments as dose rates increased, but there was no significant difference between dose rates and residual activity on post-treatment day 20 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P > 0.05);.
