| population dynamics of mosquito immatures and the succession in abundance of aquatic insects in rice fields in madurai, south india. | studies on the breeding pattern of mosquito immatures and the successional changes in the abundance of aquatic insects were conducted in rice fields near madurai, south india. the population of late (iii/iv) larval instars of culicines peaked on day 28 and pupae (culex tritaeniorhynchus, cx. pseudovishnui and cx. vishnui) peaked on day 9 after transplantation, whereas the population of late (iii/iv) larval instars of anophelines peaked on day 19 and pupae of anopheles subpictus and an. vagus on ... | 1999 | 11304916 |
| pyrethroid-impregnated hessian curtains for protection against mosquitoes indoors in south india. | hessian curtains impregnated with deltamethrin 50 mg/m2 were hung in the eaves and doorways of eight one-roomed huts in madurai, tamil nadu state, south india. statistically significant reductions of indoor-resting and man-biting densities of the mosquitoes anopheles subpictus and culex quinquefasciatus were observed for 14 weeks, in two field trials. bioassays on curtains in the field showed over 50% mortality of cx quinquefasciatus and an.stephensi for up to 8 weeks. the curtains were highly a ... | 1995 | 7787225 |
| evaluation of the water fern azolla microphylla for mosquito population management in the rice-land agro-ecosystem of south india. | the floating water fern azolla microphylla kaulfess was evaluated as a biocontrol agent against mosquitoes breeding in rice fields in tamil nadu, south india. anopheles subpictus grassi, culex pseudovishnui colless and culex tritaeniorhynchus giles were the predominant species of mosquitoes, with peak densities of late instar larvae and pupae occurring during the second week after transplantation of rice seedlings of short-term (c. 80 days from transplantation to harvest) or medium-term (c. 95 d ... | 1991 | 1768923 |
