PIROUZ1, M. R. DAMAVANDIAN2 and B. AMIRI BESHELI2 1- Graduated student; 2- Associate Professor; Department of Plant Protection, Faculty of Cultural Science, Sari Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University, Sari, Iran Abstract In this study, the effects of Berliner subsp kurstaki on the larval stages of Linnaeus was investigated. Dipping method was used for bioassay in vitro and of the first and, the sum of second and third larval instars were shown to be 4480, 9010 and ppm, respectively. A semi-field experiment on the two-year Washington navel (Citrus sinensis(l) Osbeck.Var novel) plants with 5 treatments and water as the control was conducted in a completely randomized design. After data analysis, and of the first and the second instars larvae of 96 hours after treatment were 2130, and 2840, ppm, respectively. The most suitable range of concentration for controlling the first and second instars larvae was calculated 635, 4540 and 256, 5190 ppm, respectively. The field experiment was conducted in 3,000 m2 orchard of 30 hectares. In this experiment, four treatments namely, Malathion (2000 ppm), B. thuringiensis (0.5 and 1 percent) and water as a control compared with each other. The average number of alive larvae of on sample units trees in the first year had no significant difference, but in the second year on the trees for the control,b. thuringiensis (0.5, 1 percent) and Malathion 7 days after treatment,were 5.466a, 2.4c, 4.4ab and 3.266bc, respectively. Overall results showed that microbial insecticide has killing efficiency for the larvae in the orchards. Key words:,, Bioassay, Citrus orchard. Corresponding author: m.r.damavandian@gmail.com
