ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The activity of the microbial insecticide, Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) Berliner has been found to be synergistically enhanced by the addition of unsaturated 18-carbon fatty acids. A synergistic effect with respect to increased larval mortality of the western spruce budworm, Choristoneura occidentalis Freeman was obtained in the C18 unsaturated fatty acid/B.t. treatments. Enhanced mortality was also observed in C18 fatty acid/B.t. treatments of the larval form of the silverspotted tiger moth, Halisidota argentata Packard. The increased insecticidal activity of the entomogenous bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) Berliner by the addition of unsaturat- ed 18-carbon fatty acids represents a significant breakthrough for the expanded use of this microbial insecticide.
