    Characterization of various Bacillus thuringiensis strains having larvicidal activity on Chilo partellus first-instar larvae, after culture on cost-effective medium, in Kenya 

    Anyika, D.; Boga, Hamadi I.; Mwirichia, Romano K. (2011)
    Bacillus thuringiensis strains are widely used in many larvicidal pest control programs. However, the large-scale production of these biolarvicides is very expensive due to the high cost of the production synthetic medium. ...
