| Abstract | ||
| In this study, the preparation of microencapsulated Spore Crystal Aggregate (SCA) of Bacillus thuringiensis formulation mixed with sodium alginate (2, 3, and 5 %) was investigated. Microencapsulated formulations were prepared using the emulsion gelling procedure. The protective effect of microcapsules after exposure to Ultra Violet radiation (UV) was evaluated by measuring the spore viability and bioassay tests. The use of sodium alginate (5 % w/w) resulted in the highest viabilities as 90 and 86% after exposure to UVB (400nm) and UVC (254nm) irradiation, respectively, while, viability of non- microencapsulated spores under these conditions were 40 and 50%, respectively. The mortality of irradiated and non-irradiated free spore formulations on second instar larvae of Ephestia kuehniella were 15 and 93%, respectively. However, the mortality caused by irradiated and non-irradiated microencapsulated formulations were 70 and 80% on the tenth day of the experiment, respectively. The sizerange of the microcapsules was 7— 20 µm while the microencapsulation efficiency was 86%. | ||
