"Recent studies have indicated that phagostimulantmaize flour-based formulations of Bacillus thuringiensisBerliner and nucelopolyhedrovirus resulted in improvedcontrol of various species of noctuid pests (Morales-Ramos et al., 1998, Tamez-Guerra et al., 1998). More-over, the maize flour formulation offered increasedprotection from UV radiation and improved the rain-fastness of the inoculum during simulated rainfall (Ta-mez-Guerra et al., 2000a,b)" -
