Abstract

The efficacies of Abate 1-SG and Vectobac G were evaluated against the dengue vector Aedes albopictus in bromeliads in Malaysia. The dosage for both insecticides was 1gm/plant. Both insecticides were effective in controlling Ae. albopictus breeding with residual activity of up to 1 week with more than 76% mortality of immature stages.
